- 4000 to 8000 grit are more for polishing and are used to refine your knife edge
- If you are using your knife to cut meat, 4000 and 6000 grit is best in order not to bend the meat on muscle and sinew
The 1000 grit stone is the basic sharpening stone. If your knives simply lost their edge. This is what you need.
