How to use

Place the whetstone on a stable, non-slip surface or use a stone holder if available.

Hold the blade at the desired sharpening angle and move it across the stone with even pressure, maintaining the angle throughout each stroke. Repeat on both sides of the blade until the required sharpness or a consistent burr is formed, then refine the edge with lighter strokes. Clean the stone surface and the blade after use to remove residue and particles.

Usage recommendations

For longer stone life and consistent sharpening results, flatten the stone periodically, avoid excessive pressure, and follow manufacturer guidance for lubrication and cleaning. Use appropriate protective measures such as cut-resistant gloves and secure the workpiece to prevent slips during sharpening.
