With this whetstone, you can instantly sharpen all your kitchen knives, giving them an excellent edge. Double-sided, with two different grits, you can either use the blue, 240 grit side for restoring dull or damaged knives, or the fine, white, 1000 grit surface to perfectly sharpen them. The whetstone comes in a non-slip bamboo block for safety. The whetstone should be immersed in lukewarm water for five minutes before each use. During this time, the whetstone absorbs the optimum amount of water for the perfect result when sharpening. Corundum is one of the world's hardest materials. When combined with water, the smallest corundum particles form an abrasive paste, which can be used to create an exceptionally sharp result. Place the block on a flat surface, and position the knife at a maximum angle of 20°. Then you can begin slowly pulling the knife edge forwards and backwards to sharpen it. If the knife you are sharpening is very blunt, or has not been sharpened for a long time, start with the rougher blue side, then follow with the finer, white side of the whetstone.Make sure you use the entire surface of the whetstone, in order to ensure it wears evenly over the years to come. After sharpening, wet the whetstone with clean water and dry gently. Then, let the whetstone dry out completely. The water-resistant bamboo block should not be exposed to moisture for extended periods of time.
