🛠️ Usage Tips
-
Soak Before Use: Immerse the whetstone in water for about 10–15 minutes before sharpening. This helps to reduce friction and carry away swarf (metal particles).
-
Sharpening Technique: Hold the knife at a consistent angle (typically 15–20 degrees) against the stone. Start with the coarse 240-grit side to reshape the edge, then switch to the 800-grit side to refine and polish it.
-
Maintenance: After use, clean the stone with water and a soft brush to remove any residue. Allow it to dry completely before storing to prevent damage.
