Dunno if water stones are the same as whet stones, but I use Japanese water stones from King Stone, 800 and 6000 grit and they are better than any stones I've used before. I also finish the edges with two grades of leather strop. It might be worth mentioning that I attended a knife-sharpening class at Blenheim Forge last year. I've been sharpening blades all my life, with what I thought was a good technique, taught to me by my grandfather. But, having attended the class, has taken the keen-ness of my edges to a different level. I'm happy to share this knowledge with anyone who is interested.
