I'm going to gather a free hand kit what do you think about this one
diamond course medium fine lanky benchstones. Spyderco ultra fine stone. And a knives plus strip block. What do you think about this kit? Suggest your own kit I'm going for something that can go from dull to mirror polish.
 
With all those different benchstones, I'd pass on the K+ strop block and build your own strop kit to do the final polishing. You might end up liking a diamond coating better than the CrO2 on the K+ block. You can also pick the strop surface to your liking. There are different types of leather as well as other kinds of surfaces that are used for strops.
 
My kit consists of a Smith's coarse/fine stone; 800, 2000, and 3000 grit sandpaper; and a leather strop with no compound. I can get shaving sharp edges with this setup and it costs all of $35
 
Just like the other 2 threads you started on sharpening this one should be in a different section. You sure do start a lot of threads on the same subjects.
