Aaron, I have not heard of these stones before. I was getting ready to order some King water stones but I need to check these out first. Do the Shapton stones have the same friable surface as regular water stones that keeps them from getting clogged?
Thanks.

I was looking at King as well. On recommendation from another group, I got the Shaptons. I just got a flattening stone from Sharpening Supplies (?), their "new" two sided one. Works well, and needed.

Also, just got in my Veritas MKII sharpening jig. I was waffling with that and the Lie Nielsen. Not disappointed, and MUCH better than the original Veritas. May. Look at the LN with the long jaws sometime, just because.

You probably won't need the 5k. But yes, same path!

The Narex set I got from LV as well. I'm breaking them all in making more clamps. Chisels are sharp, and work well. Haven't gone through a lot of wood yet, but I credit the edge to the stones. Then again, the steel takes an edge well; we'll see how long it lasts before needing a stone hit again.

Shouldn't be an issue, the ceramics are a fast setup.
