Very very good brand. I have the 1000 and 4000 plus the diamond stone sharpener. Use them to sharpen our kitchen knives and cannot emphasize how well they perform.
I've got 300 and 1000 diamond stones, all over this 2000 for so cheap. Wanted a 3000 for my japanese knives but this will do while I wait for a good deal. the 2k is back in stock by the way.
If you have a 2000 you should probably go for a 5000 next.
Is using something like 120 on a lawnmower blade a sensible idea? Or is it a heresy?
Usually something like a 60 grit is fine for a lawnmower bade. A grinding wheel on an angle grinder and a file for fine tuning is how I do it. A 120 stone should work if you really want to use it. Might be a little slow or uncomfortable though.

While you technically could, it would be a ton of time and elbow grease to do so, and if you have any large dings or chips you're not really going to be able to manage.
The 120 is a stone with limited utility unless you want to change the shape entirely, but for something as big as a lawnmower blade just buy an angle grinder from harbor freight and go to town.
These very coarse stones also wear quickly. You'd be wise to consider a more durable diamond plate instead for extremely rough jobs requiring such low grit.

I suspected that it might not be practical. The last time I saw a whetstone was in my grandfather's hands, honing his scythe over 40 years ago.
What grit do I need for general kitchen knife sharpening?
I've tried many grit all the way to 30K grit stone. My most favorite and practical grit combo are Chosera 400 jump straight to Shapton 2K and stropping on newspaper. It leave a fine finish with a little toothies on the edge.
Thanks for posting this! The splash and go Shapton Blade stones are great. This is the lowest I've seen these posted before. I snagged the #120, #220, #1500, #2000 grit stones for less than $100 which is insanely cheap given the average price of these are usually $35-45. I will say I too wish the Shapton Orange Medium Grinding #1000 was on sale as that's a good stone to learn how to sharpen knives on.
That's insanely expensive even after the so called sale price.

Were as these would probably sharpen a lawnmower blade just fine I wouldn't use these high quality stones... I would just get a file and sharpen it..
Went ahead and grabbed the 120 as it was still showing at $21 althought I have a 120 in the Shapton Glass stones.. Already had the 1000 - 12000 stones.. but great price..

If you are sharpening chisels and plane blades with these you'll want to grab a flattening stone to keep these stones flat.. knives and such you don't need a flat stone but straight edge tools you do. These stones are pretty soft and will need to be flattened on the regular.

While both will sharpen, the HF stone is geared towards tools and these are for knives.
That's the short version.
