Hi,
I just bought a new set of Japanese kitchen knives, made by Sekiryu. I tried to get as nice as what I could afford. However, I'm very confused on how to care for them, what kind of sharpener I should get (ceramic or stone, and what grit). I've read pages of threads and asked people I know how to care for the knives and the answers are radically different. I don't understand the words or phrases.
I don't know if I"m allowed to place a link here, so if I've done wrong, I apologize and please tell me so I can take it down.
This is the same set here-- I found a pic on Ebay, this is from the same merchant

I have a little money left over to get a sharpening/honing system. I really do not know what this is---I've read dozens of threads and Im confused as ever. There are different answers. I wanted to sharpen my knives after each use(someone told me only to do it twice year and that I meant "hone")
Can someone give me suggestions? My budget is about $60 and that would include shipping for anything I ordered.
Thank you very much in advance!
