Instructions

1. Select the proper stone for your edge.

   2. Medium- To maintain an already sharp edge
   3. Fine- Extra Fine- to hone/polish a finished edge
2. Set the stone on a stable, flat surface.
3. Observe the bevel angle on the blade you intend to sharpen.  Then, bring the edge to the stone matching your sharpening angle to the bevel angle.
4. Using light pressure, push the edge of the blade across the stone in one motion, much like trying to slice a thin layer off the top of the stone. Maintaining a consistent angle is essential for the best results.
5. Repeat process 3-4 times on one side of the blade, then switch to the other side and repeat.
6. Repeat this process until edge is sharp.
7. Make sure to clean your stones with a damp rag after each use.  Store in a cool dry place.
