Steps to sharpen:
1. Place the whetstone on a cutting board or countertop, with the coarse grit face up. A wet paper towel underneath the stone can help keep it from sliding.
2. With one hand, grasp the knife by the handle and hold the edge against the stone, point-first, with the cutting edge meeting the stone at a 15-22 degree angle. You can stabilize the blade with your other hand.
3. With moderate pressure, slide the blade forward and across the the whetstone, covering the entire length of the blade and keeping the blade flush against the stone at a constant 15-22 degree angle.
4. Do this 10 times, then flip the knife over and give the other side of the blade 10 strokes on the whetstone.
5. Now flip the whetstone over to the fine grit side and give each side of the blade 10 strokes.
6. Finish by using a sharpening steel to hone the blade, then rinse and wipe the blade dry to remove any metal particles.
Tips:
1. Simply soak your whetstone for 10-15 minutes before use, then place in the stand tray to allow excess water to drain away.
2. The first side is a coarse grade to remove any defects and restore the edge. The second fine grade adds brilliant polish and precisely hones in on the edge to give a super sharp finish.
3. Always sharpen in the same direction, whether it’s front-to-back or back-to-front.
4. HornTide Combination Whetstone for use on any metal and carbon steel blades. Does not suit for use on ceramic knives.
