I need to buy a couple stones for sharpening knives: 220 and 1000 grit. There are a few choices where I live:
For 220 grit: Imanishi, Norton
For 1000 grit: Norton, Naniwa (hard type)
I am also considering ordering Shapton Glass Stones, or Naniwa Super Stones.
Does anyone have experience with these stones? How are they for wear/dishing, feel. Do they do a good job on knives: carbon or stainless?
I don't want to buy a flattening stone at this time if I can avoid it. Can I flatten these with sandpaper?
If anyone knows where I can order stones from in Canada (I live in Calgary, Alberta) I would appreciate knowing of that. I can't find Shapton or Naniwa Superstones.
Thanks
