Suggestion of Choose a Sharpening Stone
A very coarse stone, 220 grit or so, will remove a lot of material quickly. This is useful for repairing chips or setting a new bevel angle on a blade.
A medium grit stone, typically 1000 to 1500, is usually the first stone you'll use if the knife is very dull, but not damaged. The finer grit removes enough material to restore the cutting edge, but not so much material that you'll grind the blade down quickly.
A fine stone, typically 4000 grit, is used for polishing a cutting edge until it's very sharp. This is usually as fine as you'll want to polish a knife because it strikes a very good balance between sharp and durable.
A very fine stone is between 6000 and 10000 grit can be used to polish the blade to a mirror-like finish and hone the cutting edge to razor sharp. Such an edge is ideal for slicing delicate ingredients like seafood, but a cutting edge this fine will dull faster with use.
