Material: White Corundum Dimension: 7.09"(Long) x 2.36"(Width)x 1.18"(Thickness) Weight: 19.75oz How To Sharpen Knife With Whetstone? 1: Soak your Stones When working with water stones, it's essential to submerge them in water for at least 45 minutes before using. 2: Set up Your Station Place your stone on a cutting board, with the 3000 grit face up. And the stone should be oriented with the short end parallel to the edge of the counter. Keep your stone constantly moistened during the sharpening process. 3: Begin First Stroke Place the heel of your knife on the far edge of the stone, holding the blade gently but firmly with both hands at a 15 to 20 degree angle. Using even pressure, slowly drag the knife over the stone towards you down the length of the stone while simultaneously moving the knife such that the contact point moves towards the tip of the blade. Be careful to maintain the 15 to 20 degree angle as you pull the knife across the stone. Pressure should be firm, but gentle. Do this 10 times, then flip the knife over and give the other side of the blade 10 strokes on the whetstone. 4: Start Sharpening Second Side Now flip the whetstone over to the fine grit (8000 grit) side and give each side of the blade 10 strokes.Your stroke should end with the tip of the blade against the top edge of the stone, still maintaining a 15 to 20 degree angle. Remember to moisten your stone between strokes. Repeat for as many strokes as it took you to form the burr on the first side. 5:Clean Up After sharpening the knife, clean the stone with wet cloth or water, then dry it. Tips: Please Always sharpen in the same direction, whether it's front-to-back or back-to-front.
