Hey guys, I'm looking for a good set of large stones to keep at the house. What do you guys use to sharpen your blades? Stones? Strops? Wet or dry? Any product links I can have a look at? Let me know!!

I keep it pretty simple I have a couple of diamond plates and a whetstone I've gotten from ragweed forge, I also have a few strops that I've made....those humble materials keeps'em sharp and cutting....although I'm thinking about asking for a set of bench stones for my birthday...

800X and 1000X water stones and a homemade strop with green compound on one side and white on the other.
I use the 800 for my larger knives and skinners and go to 1000 on my pocket/pen/whittling knives and kitchen knives. Follow up both on the strop. Good to go!
