King KDS 1000/6000 Combination Grit Whetstone, for Sharpening Harder Steels

Q: Does this come with a base or is it just the stone?

Just the stone. It does not come with a base. I have not had any problems placing it on a towel to sharpen.

Q: How is the kds different from the kw65

When I did my search,it was said that the KDS is better for use with the harder steels . I find the KDS about perfect for all my knives and I have way more expensive Japanese water stones. It's cost is just a wee bit more then the kw65 so why take the chance on the kw65? One of the things I like about the KDS is the amount of good feed back you get from the stone while sharpening. The KDS and a lower grit stone of maybe 400 or 500 grit is all you will ever need.

Q: Does this stone work just as well for softer steels also?

I think so. Years ago I bought a $20 Farberware chefs knife at a grocery store, just to tide me over while my Wusthof was out at sharpeners for a week. Today I was trying to sharpen that Farberware. I got it decently sharp at 20^ . I could however literally “feel” the burr breaking off when I turned the knife over on the stone. This knife with 420 steel just won’t ever get as sharp as my Wusthof which I believe is made from a 4112 Tyson Krupp steel. I was able to get the Wusthof razor sharp at 15^ with nothing breaking off. Even the German steel is considered “soft” compared to some of the Japanese Super Steels I’m learning about. I now want to replace my cheap chefs knife with a blade made from VG10 or SG2 steel, which would take a 10^ to 12^ angle. Will this stone sharpen a softer steel? Yes. Will you be able to get a softer steel as sharp as a harder steel,... your mileage may vary, but this will be dependent on your technique and the steel of your blade, not very dependent on which stone you use, so long as the stone is flat, maintained properly, etc.

Q: Will this work well with m390 steel?

I use zdp 189 steel and it works for it for m390 i hawe no exsperience
