I am new to knife sharpening; I have an opportunity to get 3 DMT dia-sharp contiuous stones for a good price, (hardly used). They are 6" x 2" in coarse, fine and extra fine; my kitchen knives are 6" to 10" and my camping knives are between 3" and 7"; would these stones be large enough? I was also told I would need a ceramic stone like the Spyderco ulta fine, maybe a 8" x 2". Do you think this would work for me and would I also need a strop? I am really starting from scratch and could use your help. Thanks.
Are these the right hones to start with

tucson,Those stones will work. But I'd get the Spyderco ceramic fine stone and a strop as well. Which will give you really good results.DM
