Q: hello, for sharpening kitchen knives, is it a good practice to go from 1200 grit to 4000 ( DMT STONES )

My rule of thumb is to only double the git for each sharpening step. So, from 250 grit coarse to 400, then to 800, then to 1200, then to 2000, then to 4,000, then to 8,000. The last three grits are mainly for polishing. If you skip a grit, it is like skipping a grit in sanding a wood project, in that you have to spend a lot more time with the higher grit, then if you had used a medium grit. So I would say no, do not go from 1200 grit to 4000. Instead, go from 1200 to 2,000. DMT makes a 2,000 grit diamond stone by the way.

Q: if i only want to sharpen kitchen knives do i need more than 1 plate? which one do i need? ty

#1 don't get anything from DMT, get the Ultra sharp stones. #2 start with 600 grit plate for decent sharpness. #3 depending on how sharp you want to go, get the 1200 grit plate for excellent sharpness. If you want sharper, say razor sharpness you will need some skill and a water stone. You'll have to decide your self by trying the first stone if you need to go finer.

Q: Is this the only stone I need for general sharpening? I’m a beginner

It would probably be okay, if you never let the edge get too rough. It would take a while to repair any kind of neglect with this. This also wouldn't get an edge razor sharp, but would get it close enough that you could hit it with a strop or steel. I love my diamond stones, but if I had to use only one stone I'd probably go with a good natural oil stone.
