Attach the angle guide to the spine of the knife if you want extra support maintaining the ideal angle.
Begin with the 240‑grit side to reshape or repair the blade. Glide the knife gently across the stone at a consistent angle, moving from heel to tip.
Flip to the 1000‑grit side for honing and polishing. Repeat the sharpening motion with light, even pressure.
Rinse the blade and stone with water after sharpening. Dry both thoroughly before storing.
