I have the 3 stone kit which works perfectly well for my knives. Owners of posh knives may disagree.

My aliexpress cloan is the 5 version and I mainly use the lowest (for projects for shaping), then the two highest.
I'd say get the 3 stone then buy some alix extras if you feel you need them.

fwiw I watched a bunch of videos about how to use a whetsone, the angles to use, technique etc but what I found works best is to place the knife blade forward pointing about 45 degrees, angle it down about 40 degrees and just keep that consistent then push the knife back and forward without much pressure. No screwing around with changing the angle for the tip, pressing on the drag but not the push etc. One hand on the handle, the other holding the blade with the thumb dragging on the stone to keep the angle.

I went for the Deluxe but I don't actually know where it is...
@ChasnotRobert did I lend it to you?

I don’t use my whetstone regularly enough to be any good at it. Thinking of getting a Lansky sharpening kit, but which one? Deluxe (five stones), standard (three stones) or diamond even?
Will be used on a stainless-clad nakiri & gyuto, Zwilling chef knife and a few other wee guys.
