I just want to get some perspective on peoples preferred finishing stone/grit. Also whether or not you stop with compounds.

I currently work at a knife shop (TKO), and they do 800#, 3000#.

It seems a lot of people finish on 2k. Mainly the green brick of joy.

I get that it depends on the feel, steel, use case and so on.

I'm still quite new to sharpening and would just like some perspective.

I currently do a 1k, 3k (rockstar) progression, followed by leather with green compound mostly influenced by my workplace.

I'm considering if I should buy a 2k since people seem to enjoy finishing that.

Other considerations:
