Blue Aogami steel

I work in the kitchen with japanese handforged knifes made from blue aogami steel. I use waterstones from 1000  3000 to 8000 to make them sharp by hand. Which machine and stones can be used for my work?
Thank you
Alex

    It depends how hardened they are, there are different types of blue aogami steel more or less Chromium,Molybdenumand and other other alloys. When you sharpen by hand it would work with all oursharpening stones and of course Diamond Wheels.
    Personally, I prefer the T-8 Original with the Original Grindstone SG-250 /220 grid FEPA and can be dressed to 1000 grid effect and my favorit Japanese Waterstone SJ-250 with 4000 grid /JIS.
    You can achieve a mirror finished edge on you knifes, as i prefer and love.
