I’ll throw in my .02… fwiw…. 200/600 is a great “2 step” sharpening combo… and meets the purpose that Clay mentioned earlier… coarse stone to shape an edge, and a fine stone to refine it a bit… quick and get back to work. The basics of most sharpeners uses this simple 2-step process… which is what I thought the intention of the Go was. 200/400 is too close to be beneficial. Some of you are basically “building” what is already available, and trying to make a sharpener that will do it all. Give the 200/600 combo a try on a few knives, and I think you’ll start to realize its potential. Keep in mind that you’re not always looking to obtain the “best” edge, and you’re not trying to necessarily remove all the 200g with the 600g… just an edge that is shaped, refined a bit, burr free, and will do the job. If you need more than this… there are other models for that. Not to say you can’t get the Go, and build on it if you want… but it shouldn’t start out that way. (Heck, I’d even do a 100/600… depending on the condition of the knives I mostly saw…).
I agree and actually think that the 50/80 grit stones would be better suited for the GO bundle than any of the higher stones (800/1000 and up) after watching Clay reprofile the chipped pairing knife in his recent video.
@wickededge how do we upgrade our pre-order to one of these bundles?
