For the kitchen, get a longer stone than you might otherwise choose. When sharpening, you'll probably want to brace its narrow end against the backsplash of the counter, and if it's too short, you won't get enough "travel" with each stroke before bumping your hand or the knife into the backsplash.

Or look for a stone mounted in a bracket that has a non-skid base.
