Compact Japanese Water Stone Grit 1000
How to Use a Water Stone Correctly
Unlike many Western stones that use oil, this stone requires only water. Using oil would ruin the stone!
Procedure:
- Preparation: Before sharpening, submerge the stone in water for 10 to 15 minutes. The stone is ready when air bubbles stop rising from it.
- Sharpening: During sharpening, a "slurry" (a mixture of water and loose abrasive) will form on the surface. Do not wash this slurry off; it ensures the most effective sharpening action. Splash water on the stone regularly while working to prevent it from drying out.
- Sharpening a Knife Correctly
- Versatility: Due to its size, this stone is excellent not only for pocket knives but also for smaller carving chisels or field maintenance.
Stone Care
Synthetic stones are durable but brittle. Protect the stone from dropping on hard surfaces. After use, rinse it with clean water and let it air dry thoroughly (never dry it in direct sunlight or on a radiator, as it might crack).
