Grain size (Grit)
The grain size of Japanese sharpening stones is expressed as a number. The higher the number, the finer the grinding grain and the sharper the result.
Which stone you start with depends on the time you have and the condition of the knife. If the knife is really blunt or damaged, you start with a very coarse stone (200-600), then you can go one step higher each time. With a less blunt knife you can start with a 1000 grit stone. You end up with a finish on a 6000-10000 stone, this is meant to get the blade razor sharp. The combination stone (400/1200) or the diamond stone # 1200 supplemented with a 6000 or 8000 finishing stone is in our opinion an ideal starter package.
