A CHEAP $20 diamond stone (you don’t need this is you buy the value stone)⬇️

Ceramic splash and go stones I LOVE⬇️
https://amzn.to/4byXR67 1k
https://amzn.to/4cQAINx 2k
https://amzn.to/4cOXHIN 5K

MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME BUT VERY EXPENSIVE⬇️ (get these for super steels)
https://amzn.to/4cIVzmc 400
https://amzn.to/3xJVpMp 1200
Get the 400 and 1200. Don’t buy a coarser one, a cheap diamond will work better for profiling.

A fixed angle system I recommend⬇️

Strop compound (I recommend anywhere from 1-6 micron. 1 micron if using a 3k+ stone, and 3-6 If using a 400-3k stone.⬇️
