New sharpener

[Matt Rochester]

I picked up this set of stones from a friend. It came out of the meat dept of a winn-Dixie that closed. As you can see 2 of the 3 stones are worn pretty bad. I need some replacements but don't know which ones to get. If you could only have 3 stones which ones would you get? The tan colored one is in the best shape. It's the finest but doesn't seem very fine. Thanks.

You will get much better response in the maintenance forum. Many knowledgeable people on there. Fred

Thanks Fred.

It looks like it has an india stone, and then probably a medium and a coarse, originally (at least that's what their current "tri-hone" is set up with.

Personally, I'd probably skip the coarse, as if I'm using a stone it's probably just to touch up a blade... so maybe medium, fine, extra fine, in whatever configuration/material you might like.

I would like one stone to establish the bevel on my new knives. I could get a diamond stone for that and then a medium, fine, extra fine.
