Start with the coarse grit to remove material and repair damage. Use the fine grit for general sharpening, and finish with the extra fine grit to hone the edge to a razor-sharp finish.
How much water should I use?
Keep the stone surface wet during sharpening. Add water as needed to maintain lubrication. Do not let the stone dry out.
What is the correct sharpening angle?
Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific tools. Generally, a 20-30 degree angle is appropriate for most blades and chisels.
How often should I clean the stones?
