Use Instructions

1. Submerge the whetstone in water for approximately 5 minutes or until bubbles have stopped. This process must always be repeated before sharpening.
2. Place the whetstone on the non-slip stone station base. Before commencing with the sharpening process, use the flattening stone provided to ensure the whetstone is completely flat – this is very important! Always ensure to keep the stone wet while sharpening and do not remove the powder build-up as this helps sharpen the knife.
3. Using the guide rails included, move the blade using a back and forth motion on a 45° angle, ensuring to keep even pressure on the blade.
4. Once a burr is reached on the edge of the entire blade, change sides and repeat the process 4/5 times each side until the burr is completely removed and the blade is razor-sharp.
5. After use, clean the surface of the whetstone and leave it to dry before storing it in the stone station.
