How to Use the Oval Knife Sharpener Double Sided Whetstone

Materials Needed

• Oval Knife Sharpener Double Sided Whetstone
• Knife to be sharpened
• Bowl of water
• Cloth or towel

Preparation

1. Soak the whetstone in a bowl of water for about 10-15 minutes until bubbles stop appearing. This helps to lubricate the stone during the sharpening process.
2. Place the whetstone on a stable surface, preferably on a damp cloth or towel to prevent slipping.

Sharpening Process

1. Identify the coarse side of the whetstone. Use this side to repair dull or damaged edges.
2. Hold the knife at a 20-degree angle against the whetstone.
3. Gently slide the knife across the whetstone in a sweeping motion, maintaining the angle. Start from the base of the blade and work towards the tip.
4. Repeat the process about 5-10 times on the coarse side.
5. Flip the whetstone to the fine grit side for honing and polishing the edge.
6. Repeat the sweeping motion 5-10 times on the fine side, maintaining the 20-degree angle.

Final Steps

1. Rinse the knife and whetstone with water to remove any metal particles or residue.
2. Dry the knife with a clean cloth or towel before use.
3. Store the whetstone in a dry place to maintain its quality for future use.

Safety Tips

• Always sharpen away from your body to prevent accidents.
• Ensure the whetstone is secure and stable to avoid slips.
• Handle the knife carefully, as it will be very sharp after sharpening.
