@25/08 IMP prochef has a good selection of high quality Japanese stones. King is good value. A 1000/6000 is great for kitchen knives, but I like a bit courser for hunting/field knives.

A 2 sided dmt in fine/extra fine(600/1200) and a home made strop is a great place to start.

Just make sure you get a full size stone, it's tempting to buy the smaller stones as they are cheaper but they are no where near as good. Having plenty of stone to work on both helps consistency and speeds up the job.
