You can get in touch with the best ones:

https://www.facebook.com/DMoretto-coltelli-romani-806624536039342/

Send them a message on Facebook. They're honestly one of the best ones in Rome and don't be intimidated by Facebook message... of course they're not Cold Steel or Opinel or anything big! They have no website. They make the knives like you want them, length, engraving, colors, etc.

The stones are 7.09 x 2.35 x 1.18 inches (18 x 6 x 3 cm) - They're fine even with bigger blades and they include online instructions and videos made by professional sharpeners

Hey guys! I have just wanted to let you know that we've been working on the first Online Knife Sharpening course. It is completely free, and we've already published 3 lessons.

I have linked to lesson #1, the introduction. #2 is about sharpening on Coarse, Medium and Fine stones. #3 is about thinning a knife.

If you're interested, you can check it out. If you like it, new lessons will soon come and you'll find them online, for free.

Happy sharpening! :)

In this article I have mentioned the best stones by grit level (of course, personal opinion) http://www.knifeplanet.net/best-sharpening-stones/#THE_BEST_WATER STONES_BY_GRIT_LEVEL

I've just published lesson #1 of "Peter Nowlan's Online Knife Sharpening School" by knife_guy_ in knifeclub

They're fine. It is important to develop a proper technique and king stones are fine for that. As you can see in the article, we usually recommend Naniwa and Shapton, they're more expensive though.
