Getting hold of them may be a problem but it will be worth it.
I use them (red and green) for the kitchen knives too.


Er um .............. yes but i don't understand the website!! They
recommend the ones that fold but then present you with about 200 (well
slight exaggeration there) 20 options all sorts of different grits or
something. Which of these do you recommend? They seem to have reference
numbers or letters.

I use the Diafold ones in red and green.
Black.. (60 mocron/220mesh) Course for removing material.
Blue... (45 micron/325 mesh) Medium for grinding an edge.
Red.... (23 micron/600 mesh) Fine for making a sharp edge, sharpening.
Green. (9 micron/1200 mesh) for polishing an edge, honing to a razor
sharpness.
