Shapton Kuromaku Sharpening Stones have different colors depending on the grade of coarseness.
Shapton stones are great at sharpening because of their high abrasive content - you can form an edge in no time.
Unique bonding technology allows the abrasives to perform at an optimum level, resulting in long-lasting sharpening stones.
This long-selling Japanese sharpening stone comes with a plastic case usable as a stone holder or base.
The Orange #1000 is a medium coarse sharpening stone for moderate stock removal. This stone is recommended for sharpening normal household knives before polishing.

It's probably the best stone you can get for the money, and I think this is the perfect balance between how much you should spend on a stone and the results you can get from it. I never had sharper knives in my life, I could shave my whole body with a paring knife. The only downside is that it can be quite messy with all the water it needs to remove material efficiently.
