I've got hundreds of £s of sharpening kit, but use a chopstick with wet and dry stuck to it for fishing
300, 600, 1200 and 2500 on each face

I would avoid them Adam - way too brutal. Just get yourself a genuine Norton Oil stone, nothing else comes even close to the finish/sharpness you can get (But that's what they are made for, sharpening precision cutting Tools)
Not cheap thou, especially the thin ones.

I am aware that different processes are used and it is completely immaterial. I don't sharpen new hooks because they are extremely sharp and I don't sharpen new razor blades because they are extremely sharp too. I couldn't care less how they get that sharp, I just use them for their intended purpose.

Not even Norton agree with that
