    A lot of people use the King 1k and seem to like it.

    Norton 4K is my favorite.

    I have used several bevel setters and in my opinion, the King 1k reigns over them all. Haven't tried the Chosera yet though.

    I'm assuming you mean you dislike the 1k side ? Have you read this thread ?

    You might laugh, but I use a Norton India stone. I didn't like synthetic waterstones. I think there are probably better options than the India, but it does what I need it to. Same price you could get a King though I think.

    King 1k is a great stone, it doesn't gouge a scratch pattern like some other 1k's and you can't beat it for the price.

    I like the speed and feel of the Norton 1000. The 220 is way too soft, though.
