I have a 1500-12000 micro mesh set but am thinking I need something with a bit of bite and sturdiness for initial shaping when nib grinding. I've read here that many use a Japanese whetstone. I was looking at something like this 3000/10000 stone:

What grit do you use for initial shaping? The 10,000 seems a bit light. I see a lot of 1000/3000 as well, but the 1000 might be a bit too much?
