Hello,
I would ask for some advice on choosing the better sharpening stone option, preferably from people who have had experience with Shapton and King/Sun Tiger waterstones. If you had to choose between Sun Tiger Coarse waterstone (240 grit) or Shapton Pro Coarse (120 or 220 grit) which one would you choose? I have read the Shapton 120 retains its flatnes much longer than Sun Tiger 240 while they both cut approx. at the same rate. I am interesred which of the two is more durable (Shapton Pro are roughly half an inch thick while Sun Tiger is almost two inches thick)? Would the quite thin Shapton outlast the 2 inch thick Sun Tiger? The prices are practicaly the same, Sun Tiger being slightly cheaper.
Another question is regarding either the Shapton Pro 1000 or 2000 grit waterstone. If you had the option choosing between Spydercom medium ceramic benchstone or Shapton Pro (either 1000 or 2000) which one would you choose? Which is the better option. Spyderco or Shapton ?(again the prices are practicaly the same in my situation).
