Once a quarter or so I'll sit down and sharpen all the kitchen knives. Yesterday was that day. I sat down with the main ones and a set of appropriate stones and they are now sharp...ish.
I have two Japanese laminated kitchen knives. These get sharpened with water stones: Norton 220, King 1000, King 4000, Spyderco Fine White Triangles in Sharpmaker.
I also have a variety of stainless knives. These get sharpened on a Norton Economy coarse/fine stone.
My small Japanese Petty knife will require a little more work. It had damage to the edge that will need to be removed before final sharpening. I'd anticipate one more session on the coarse stone tonight and then it will be off to the finer grits for finishing.
I also sharpened my Delica while I had the stones in the water. It got the same treatment as the Japanese kitchen knives.
