Honing stone recommendation for coated blades

[Mimizk 114]

I'm going to buy a honing stone which can be used for coated skate blades like STEP Black Steel.
I could find some rubber or clay honing stones below though, which one is better choice?
I'd like to hear someone's favorite.

1) SPARX "Coated Steel Kit"
2) Max-Performance Sports "Clay Honing Stone for Hockey Blacksteel Runners"
3) Wholesale Skate Sharpening "Blacksteel Hone - Rubber"
4) CCM (STEP) "Honing Stone & Cloth Kit"
5) Nash Sports "Black Steel Honing Stone"

Those stones are ok to use on coated black steel runners?

The ceramic side is fine, do not use the 400-grit diamond side. Also, make sure to hold it at an angle when knocking off the burr. There is no need to hold it against the entire edge. 

I know a lot of pro equipment managers that like to use balsa wood to knock the burr off too. If you are good enough at sharpening the burr should be almost negligible.

these work well on the coated mirrored blades as well

Thank you guys,

I've read your posts.
To sum it up...

1) It can deburr with cheaper thing even if it is a gummi like material stone.
2) So there is less value to pay expensive money for genuine stones for example SPARX or STEP's.
3) Fine ceramic honing stone is also better as gummi stone.

...right?

Thank you Buzz,

ProSharp is great company.

In this case, I'd like to make sure about what you would have recommended me.
Your pasted link shows a leather horn.
But also ProSharp uses a ceramic horning stone before that to deburr for the coating blade.
 

 

So I guess the ProSharp's leather horn / leather strop works as wipe off the slightly stayed burr at last rather than main deburring.

Do you use the ProSharp leather horn alone?
Or with ceramic horning stone?
