Hello!
Choosing the best stones to start with depends on a few factors, mainly the type of steel your knives are made of and the kind of edge you're aiming for.
Here are a few popular options that we offer:
- Boride T2 Series: This is a great all-around choice for kitchen knives. It offers a good balance of performance and affordability.
- Boride PC Series: If you have knives with harder steels, the PC series is a good option. It cuts faster and is more durable than the T2 series.
- Hapstone Premium Diamond/CBN: Diamond and CBN stones are known for their aggressive cutting action and long lifespan. They are a good choice if you want fast results and don't mind spending a bit more.
- Hapstone Starter Series: This is a budget-friendly option that's still capable of producing good results.
- PDT stones: These stones come in both metal and organic bonds and offer a good balance of performance and value.
- Naniwa and Shapton waterstones: These are classic Japanese waterstones that are known for their ability to produce very sharp edges. They are available on our Hapstone USA website.
If you'd like a more personalized recommendation, please provide some information about the types of knives you'll be sharpening and your sharpening goals. I'll be happy to put together a set of stones that's perfect for you.
Best regards,
Mario Hapstone
