[QUOTE="spd67, post: 2005613, member: 9008"] I would tell you that if your interested in knives and sharpening you will need a set of good progressive grit stones (coarse, medium, and fine) Arkansas works good for most knives. I would also invest in a few diamond stones as well, because some of the newer steels like s30v, D2, S90v, ect.. are really hard to sharpen on conventional stones. I would also get a set of ceramic croc sticks and a strop with some good stropping compound. Don't go cheap on your equipment it does make a difference. If you can spring for something like a Wicked Edge or other quality guided edge system you will save yourself some headache. I would also say for you to get some cheaper kershaw and gerber knives and practice dulling, and sharpening them with whatever stone stetup you have before you move on to more expensive and exotic knives. Do some research on Youtube and you will find a wealth of sharpening videos there. Good luck, and the best advise I can give you is practice, practice, practice, because you will not get it right the first time or even the first 10 or so times but you will get better and better until it becomes second nature.
