The King stone set arrived a couple of days ago.  They seem fine (says he of little experience).  I've only been trying the #400 so far, and learning how to properly shape my knives.  But it seems I'm going to have to be very careful to use the full surface of the stone because already I can feel where it's a little worn.  It might just need lots of flattening.

But I also ordered (and just received) a set of Shapton Glass Stones, #320, #1000 and #4000.  I'm going to keep the King set at my work (we can use them there) and take the Shaptons home where I do my sewing and leatherwork.  These look really really nice but I haven't tried them yet.

 

I have no experience with the #400 stone. And the stone I have might be a decent stone but maybe not suitable for the steel in my knives, hence the reason the 6000 side clogs up. 

I had to flatten my stone all the time, and if I didn't it took a lot of time to make it flat again.

That Shapton set seems like something that could be suitable for me also. 320 for reshaping an edge. 1000 and 4000 for regular sharpening.
