Re: New stones
I know what the one on the bottom picture is,a Shapton Pro 1000 but what is the one on top? The SP 1K is a pretty good stone. Oh wait,I think that is an Arashiyama 6k stone,a stone that has had my interest in the past so if it had my interest,I must have read some good reviews on it. Looks like you are going to be happy with those stones.

Re: New stones
Yes the top one is the Arashiyama 6K stone. It’s a very nice and popular finishing stone. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/takenoko8000.html
The stone is named after a mountain outside the city of Kyoto that has many natural stone mines but this stone is synthetic. Needs a quick soak.
The bottom Shapton Pro stone is the 1K Pro and it’s one of the more popular sharpening stones on our site. It’s hard and cuts well and I like a nice, hard stone. Dishes faster than the Glass Stone. You can use the box top as a holder and it works very well. This one is splash and go. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/shpro10.html
