Whetstones

[Participant]

Hi guys

I'm looking at buying something to sharpen my kitchen knives. I currently have a honing steel only.

Two questions: are whetstones the best option for sharpening at home , and what grit combination should I go for? The Wusthof websites just lists the options rather than saying which is best.

Thanks.

Whetstone for sharpening and steel for maintaining.

1000 & 3000 is what I use.
