It seems there's no mid-range priced stones, either $15 for 6 junky stones or $30-100+ EACH for the edgepro stones.

it's but the stones won't hold for so long.....you might want to use glue or tape to keep them on the bracelet

I use a 3 stone kit. I usually only use the medium and fine stones. I have been disappointed with my knife, it came dull, and the edge had been burned by the grinder. I sent it back thinking they would replace the blade, it came back still dull and grinder burned out near the the this time. My nephew bought one like mine and his has been awesome, maybe I just got a lemon.

I use a Japanese sharpening stone to sharpen mine, such as the King 47506 1000/6000 Combination Grit Waterstone. To rectify, any good ceramic sharpening rod will do, as long as you keep a 19 degree angle or so. Hope this helps.

Sonya, I am getting rid of all my water stones. I have moved to DMT Diamond Stones(there really diamond impregnated steel plates). If you are interested, I will give you a good price, send photos, etc. Doug C. djculver@msn.com.

I highly recommend the KME knife sharpening system. I'll never use anything else. Amazon has the best price on it and YouTube has tons of reviews on it. With this system, you can put a razor edge on anything and fast. You can get a great edge with the standard stones (3 diamond or 4 ceramic, your choice...) or you can go CrAzY and buy the ceramic and the diamond stones along with some CBN emulsions and a kangaroo strop to create a mirror edge (if that's your thing...)

I honestly don't think this would be the best one. That's just my opinion. The mancala stones need to be really small to actually work; they need to be the size of miniature gum balls.

I don't like the corundum stones,so I only use the basalt/magnesite stones available in selected samap and schnitzer mills-I have hand stonemills from both so I get a workout grinding flour!

I think the best thing for you to do is to go to the best hardware store in your area. Take the black rubber sleeve they give you with the pump AND one of your stones (assuming they're identical) and get a(n) (intelligent) guy in the store to try to help you. Worst case, if they don't have what you need, you'll have to go to some specialty place, especially if the hardware store doesn't have the right size plastic tubing, but they actually should. I can't think of any way to answer this via this sort of text without just adding to the confusion... Sorry.

I can't answer your question. I paid for my stone but NEVER RECEIVED IT!!!!!

Go to the Emile Henry website. There is a use and care menu. It explains everything about the stone.

A decent whetstone when used properly will always get the best results with any non serrated blade from Kitana to Higo no Kami. Its what the pros use as well. As far as grit goes that all depends on how dull the blade is. A variety of stones will cover your bases and last damn near forever.

Check out pleasanthillgrain.com for a 220V, 12 year warranty (not 3 years) KoMo classic. There is also a lot of info on that site on the stone used, shipping internationally and return policy.

I'd think that unless you're doing major reshaping (removal of large chips) you'd be better off starting in the 1k range as your most coarse stone. You would probably be well served by searching for "waterstone" instead of "wet stone",

I found this stone to be very soft and the clay easily comes off. This sharpener clay might be better for specific type of kitchen knives metals which require very acute sharpness. For other rougher blades ie garden tools I might look for a rougher tool to sharpen. I know some use a real fine grinding wheel with electric motor to sharpen their lawn tools including lawn mower blades. I guess how much time you got and how sharp you want your device.
