Sharpening Whetstone 8000 - SAMURA®

There are many ways to maintain your knives and restore their sharpness, one of which is the sharpening stones. This water sharpening stone (8000 degrees) is used at the very end of the sharpening process for finishing operations following machining of the blade with coarser grinders. It is exactly the stone that allows to have your blade polished to a high luster without the use of felt and polishing lubricants. Finally, it has a special non-slip base, so that the stone remains stable during sharpening.

Manual

1. Immerse the stone in the water for about 10 minutes. When you no longer see bubbles of air reaching the top of the water, then the stone will have absorbed the right amount of water.
2. Place the stone on a flat, non-slip surface with the side you want to use upward.
3. The choice of the appropriate side depends on the blade projection size.
4. Move the blade forward and back along the stone several times, at the right angle for your knife.
5. While sharpening, it is important that the sharpening surface remains moist. Small particles released from the stone form an abrasive when they come into contact with water.
6. Repeat the process on the other side of the blade.
7. Once this has finished, turn the stone on the thin side and repeat the process again.
8. Finally, rinse your knives in warm water and leave the whetstone outdoors until it dries completely.

* Take special care when sharpening your knives to avoid injuries.
