The lower grit numbers can be quite aggressive in their metal cutting capabilities so the chance of you altering your bevel angles by mistake are much higher. To begin with I would highly recommend the 1,000 and 5,000 grit stones that we sell. The 1,000 grit will form a burr that is detectable with your fingers (if this makes no sense watch youtube for a plethora of sharpening videos) while the 5,000 grit will polish the bevel improving edge retention.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eThese Shapton stones are considered some of the best manmade stones in the world.
