Knife sharpening

[gth813x]

Anyone know of a good place to buy stones around Gwinnett? Only place seems to be the interweb but I hate the interweb ordering business

Looking for water stones preferably but ya know I'm open to suggestions

I don't know about local but the cheapest place I found on the web is http://www.straightrazordesigns.com...ath=37&zenid=831d835439122a9500e295d2f3c2da96 . Norton is a great value in water stones. And if you want high end Japanese naturals I can recommend something there too. I know many people who use the Nortons for razors.

You can sharpen knives on "razor stones". I've got an old razor stone that I use to finish edges.

A stone is a stone you can sharpen a knife or a razor on any of them. I just take my knives up to the 12,000 grit. I'm curious as to the reason it has to be local.

Also what grits are you looking for?

I hate ordering off the net is the reason for local.

Looking for one kinda low, 500 or less then probably another around 5000, dunno need to read on it more

I use chosera and sharpton. The only place I have ever seen them is online....I stay far far away from norton...

I use the naniwa water stones myself. For my razors. For knives I use a Lansky system.
