Instuctions for use 

Step 1 - select the proper side of the stone

• dark grey, coarse – for dull or damaged edge
• light grey, medium – for touch ups or maintaining of already sharp edge 

Step 2 - set a stone on a stable flat surface 

Step 3 - apply few drops of Nathan´s Honing Oil(opptional but recommended)

Step 4 - observe the bevel angle you intend to sharpen; bring the edge to the stone matching your sharpening angle and push the edge off the blade across the stone in one motion (like trying to slice a thin layer of the top of the stone); maintaining a consistent angle for best results.  

Step 5 - repeat 3 - 4 times then switch to other side and repeat 

Step 6 - repeat until the edge is sharp

Step 7 - clean stone after each use and store in cool dry place 

Suggestions

• for best results use both sides of the stone
• start with 3 - 4 strokes on each side; repeat 3 - 4 times
• then use only 2 strokes on each side; repeat 2 - 3 times
• then 1 stroke on each side; repeat 1 - 2 times
• if starter with course side, move onto the fine side
• if you choose to use lubricant, use the same lubricant for every sharpening; lubricant helps to clean the stone and prevent clogging of the surface with metal shavings

Note: Read the instructions before use. Do not rush and pay attention to what you do. Knife sharpening is an inherently dangerous activity - if you use this sharpener properly you can not be hurt but a careless handling can hurt you.
