cornelius_blackfoot-

It's a big initial outlay but the Ice Bear stone I use cost about £40 and needs replacing after a year of only semi regular use.

I know they've been talked about a bit on this thread, but if you pay them a tenner (ish) the Japanese knife co will teach you- just go in with a knife and ask. They'll talk you through it, show you, let you try, etc.

Just buy a nice stone, I've had this one since uni for chisels, plane blades, work knives and kitchen knives and just experiement til you find what works for you. If you can get a cheap, shitty blunt knife back to razor then chances are you won't do anything silly and damage your nice knives!
I personally go for edge away from me in a sweeping curve at a pretty acute angle. 5mins and job done.
