Sharpening Instructions

• The whetstone should be soaked in water for about 10 minutes before using it
• Make sure that the stone is always slightly wet during the grinding process
• Asymmetric blades: place the ground side first on the whetstone
• Make sure that you use the angle recommended by the manufacturer
• Grind the knife with a 45 degree angle to the whetstone (to get the largest possible surface), pressing towards the edge and releasing the pressure when moving the knife back
• This should be repeated proportionally on all parts of the blade
• Once the ground side is done, reverse the knife and repeat the process as described above on the hollow-ground side but less often 1/10 will do
• Symmetric blades: repeat the process as above, but reduce the angle to approx. 15 degrees
• It is important to grind both sides of the blade equally to regain a symmetrically sharpened knife
