Hi all, you probably get questions like this a lot sorry for any inconvenience/s. Any way I'm trying to sharpen my hunting knives to just field dress deer. Also I am going to free hand. I don't know the steel types they were gifts. My grandfather gave me an oil stone and a water stone so I do not know the grits. If y'all could help me out with what are good free hand stones or hones also I was thinking under 30 dollars if possible. Thank you

You can upload it to a hosting site (Flickr, Photobucket, etc.) and link them here. Check some non paying member post with pictures (I have some), do a reply with quote, you'll see the code needed to link them.

That might be a real nice stone if you can get it lapped flat again. Many have had good luck using a concrete sidewalk and lots of water - in a figure 8 pattern.

It looks to be a coarse/ fine India. It's been use a lot and will take some time to return it to flat but it's worth a try. I'm sure I'd work at it. Especially, with it being my Grandfather's. Good luck, DM
