Sharpening Stones – SOAKING TYPE

Do not drop as the stone will crack.

Do not leave under water for long periods of time as the stone will deteriorate and break apart.

Soak just prior to use until the stone is waterlogged and the bubbles stop rising.

Rinse and leave to dry after use.

Do not store unless fully dry.

Flatten your stone regularly using a stone flattener for consistent results.
