I see it’s not the newest post, but mabye i’ll get a reply. Warning, this might get a bit nerdy. I’m looking for some new tools for sharpening. I mainly use cheramic wetstones. Depending on how much i’ve abused my knives, I normaly start with #1000 or #3000 grit, and move my way to #6000 then #8000. To save my patiance, im buying a #400 grit stone (i’ve used the last of my rough stone). Then we have polishing. Im currently using leather for polishing, but if you are a bit twisted, enough is never enough. So please give me your opinion. Would a fine nature stone help with anything more than my compulsive buying, or would diamond paste for the leather strap make that obsolete? Mabye there is a tool i haven’t heard about, that is worth a try. Please, let the arguments begin.
The steel of my knives varies, but some are karbon steel, and some are stainless steel.

A sharp knife is much safer to use than a blunt one.
I use a diamond stone then Japanese Ice Bear wet stones which are in my woodwork shop
Correct approach.
I bought one of these last week for my Global knife and all my cheapo stuff – it's transformed all of them. Love it! amzn.to/3baJIh1
I mean seriously
