How to Use Your Whetstone
- Soak the whetstone in water for 5–10 minutes before use.
- Place the stone on a flat surface — the non-slip silica gel base will hold it firmly in place.
- Begin with the coarsest grit needed for your blade's condition (e.g., 400 for damaged edges, 1000 for routine sharpening).
- Hold the blade at a consistent angle (typically 15–20°) and draw it across the stone in smooth, even strokes.
- Progress through finer grits to refine and polish the edge to your desired sharpness.
- Rinse the stone and blade clean with water after use.
