The pair we recommend to start sharpening Japanese knives: the Shapton Kuromaku #1000 medium stone to form the edge and the #5000 fine stone to polish it for a keener, longer-lasting edge.
Shapton stones are splash-and-go, so there's no soaking: just wet the surface and start sharpening. Save £13 compared with buying the two stones separately.
