Sharpening knives is a hobby, a art and a really useful skill to master!
I'll help you find the best sharpening stone.
I have been sharpening for many years and here are the stones I reviewed:
CHEAP STONE + BAMBOO BASE: Literally anything you find on amazon, any double sided stone coming in 2 colors.
The quality is always the same. They come with a bamboo base.
The stone is OK for home use. Kinda small size. Does its job if your goal is to sharpen a couple of knives a month. You'll need to flatten it frequently.
The base is not great, the rubber bottom doesn't keep the stone in place especially if you apply pressure. Annoying.
--------
SHAPTON STONE + STONE HOLDER: An amazing Japanese water stone!
I love the orange #1000 grit.
Feedback is really good. Feels very smooth, but the sharpening action is really, really effective. Raises the burr quickly. Put a sharp edge in no time.
Nice size, great for big kitchen knives.
The holder is stainless steel. High quality. Stays totally stuck in place no matter how much pressure you put.
--------
KING STONE: Small size, feels good using it.
Appropriate for smaller pocket knives. Not so great for bigger knives.
Comes with a base of average quality.
--------
The best water stone? Depends on your needs. I recommend grabbing 1 single coarse stone and work on your technique. 400 or 1000 grit is good.
Stay sharp!
