Camp Sharpening Stones

[Logit]

I have numerous pocket sized sharpening setups, but am looking for a camp set. Looking at Japanese water stones currently for my knifes...

What would people suggest? If Japanese waterstones, where’s the cheapest place and what grits would you recommend?
Thanks in advance...

Which stones is a matter of what you want to sharpen i reckon.

Or buy a set from this chap;

thanks for the links...

Axminster tools seems to get alot of good reviews.... and have seen sheps setups, they look great and intend on using some of his ideas on a full size set of stones...

Mainly sharpening my sfa/ moras and things like that..

i havent got any "nicer" knifes, though im saving up for a nice custom i have my eye on!!

If I was you I'd get the 1000/6000. But I would also get a Nagura stone for the 6000.

here is the link:

Only £2.51 and for a 6000 maks a big differance.
