I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for stones/systems. I am not the best a freehand sharpening (but want to learn with the right stone) and got the precision adjust over a year ago. I was able to get sharp edges, but it made it really easy to get uneven bevels and causing the blade tips to roll. I’ve also found the clamp to be difficult when it comes to my spydercos. Are there any stones or sharpening systems you all would recommend that are beginner friendly, get the job done and that are not crazy expensive?

I heard about the sharpal 162n, but I am not sure where to start. Do you all recommend angle gauges/digital readers as well?
