■How to sharpen knives (double-edged knives such as Santoku knives, vegetable knives, chef's knives, and paring knives)
1. Fill a container at home with water and soak the whetstone in it for about 10 minutes.
2. Pass the support clip through the tip of the knife and slide it to the sharpening position. Do not use when sharpening the tip of the knife.
3. Lightly press the knife against the whetstone and move it back and forth to sharpen. Do not wash away the sharpening liquid that appears on the surface.
4. Sharpen the tip, then the middle, then the jaw. When the surface of the whetstone becomes dry, pour a small amount of water on it.
5. Once you have finished sharpening both sides, remove any burrs on the edge of the blade by rubbing it gently against the surface of the whetstone.
After using the medium whetstone, sharpen it with a finishing whetstone to create an even sharper blade!
■How to use a surface-leveling whetstone (Maintenance of the whetstone after sharpening a knife)
As the whetstone is used, it gradually wears away from the center, creating a concave curve.
A dented or scratched whetstone cannot be used to sharpen the blade to a sharp edge, so a surface-leveling whetstone is used to smooth it out.
1. Before use, soak the grindstone and the grindstone you want to repair in water. Draw a mark on the entire surface of the grindstone you want to repair with a pencil.
2. Rub the surface of the whetstone you want to repair with the surface straightening stone. Continue rubbing until the mark disappears, which is an indication that the whetstone is flat.
If possible, we recommend using a resurfacing stone after each use of the double-sided stone!
(It takes time to repair a large dent in the grinding wheel.)
■About use and storage
- Wash the whetstone with water and dry it in the shade before storing it.
- Please avoid storing the whetstone outdoors in direct sunlight, washing it with hot water or detergent, or drying it rapidly with hot, direct air, as these will significantly affect the quality of the whetstone.
- Wash the knife with dishwashing detergent, wipe it dry and store it.
