Instructions
-
Use water or Smiths non-petroleum based honing oil as your sharpening lubricant, but stone can be used dry. DO NOT use petroleum based oil on your stone as a sharpening lubricant.
-
Place your blade on the end of the stone at the desired sharpening angle.
-
Push the blade away from you just like you are trying to carve a thin slice off the top of the stone. Use moderate pressure; let the diamond do the work. Repeat this pushing stroke 3 or 4 times. Try to maintain the same sharpening angle with each stroke. This is the key to obtaining the sharpest cutting edge.
-
Now sharpen the other side of the blade. Place your blade on the opposite end of your Smiths stone and repeat steps 1 and 2 this time pulling the blade toward you.
Care:
- Always dry your diamond stone surface after each use and before storing.
- Occasionally clean your stone with soapy water and a mild brush.
