Can anyone recommend a sharpening stone....knives, general stuff

[Kenny202]

I have a really expensive stone I use for fine work, but look for a decent all purpose whetsone for general kitchen knives etc.

I have one I bought locally but a bit course and rough. Looking for a not too expensive one with the fine / course on either side

Something off Lazada? Any recommendations / links appreciated

I bought mine from the local hardware shop, though I did go online to get a picture and a translation into Thai.

 

I generally use olive oil (I have some handy) and give each knife and the cleaver about 50 stroke on each edge.

I can't give a recommendation as I haven't yet used the one that I bought off Lazada, but there are plenty on there. More like plates than proper stone ones.

 

Mine is a cheap  so called "Diamond" whetstone. iOne of these  might suit your needs. Mine is similar to this:

I brought 400/1000, 3000/8000 that came as a  deal from Temu for a few hundred Bht - I've now got really good sharp knives instead of reasonably sharp knives.
