The #3000 grit side is a great middle grit soaking stone and coarse enough to bring a dull knife back to life. It's the perfect stone to touch up an edge when a full sharpening progression isn't needed.

These whetstones are Waterstones, do not put oil on it or you will ruin your stone. Holding the knife at a consistent angle while sharpening with the help of the angle guide is the most important thing to consider when sharpening; maintaining a flat stone is of equal importance.

For best results soak your stone in room temperature water for 10-15 minutes before use or until the stone stops bubbling and water pools on top of the stone.

Place the whetstone in the silicone pad and secure it inside the Acacia wooden base. You're now ready to start sharpening or honing your knife. Read our blog for a step-by-step guide on using whetstones.
