anybody use Japanese waterstone for their knives? the 12,000grit stone is suppose to give the best shiny edge you can ever get <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />



I use a 1000/6000 grit water stone on some of my knives. The 1000 puts a nice aggressive edge good for the kitchen and chopping work. The 6000 puts really sharp polished edge on. You can see your self in the edge.

Here is a link to a grit chart.
