DMT 8XXS Diamond Benchstone6834 viewsThe meanest and brutest benchstone of them all - DMT8XXC. Rarely needed for the knives, removes too much metal, too fast too. Use it too often on any knife and it'll be simply gone. One the other hand, for very hard and wear resistant steels like those in Aritsugu Knives this is pretty much the only way.Details in DMT 8XXC diamond benchstone review

Kitayama 8000-12000 Grit Synthetic Waterstone6168 viewsThe very first ultra fine waterstone I got. I use this one a lot. Contains natural Aoto stone powder and the grit goes from 8000 to 12000 as it breaks down in the mud. Read the details in Kitayama 8000-12000 grit waterstone review.
