[member=37411]Edward A Reno III[/member] I guess I said this earlier in this post, but I've been told by "experts" that you only need to take the primary bevel to the 1200 or less level. When doing the secondary bevel, I use waterstones. I'm still practicing with the Shapton glass stones, but they work extremely well. Even though I'm still not perfect on the secondary bevel, it's still better than other methods I've used in the past. I'd recommend the Sharpton glass stones, but I also understand that you might want to go to a 10,000 instead of 8000 as Shapton stones aren't quite as fine. Then again, you might not notice the difference. My chisels weren't anywhere as close to as sharp as they are now even with the 8000 Shapton's.
