Place the whetstone in its plastic base on a flat surface for stability. Lightly wet the stone with water—avoid soaking it for extended periods. Hold the blade at the appropriate angle and slide it across the stone evenly, applying gentle pressure. Repeat the process on both sides of the blade until the desired sharpness is achieved. After use, rinse the stone and let it air dry before storing.

Clean the whetstone after each use by rinsing with water to remove metal particles. Avoid using soaps or detergents. Store the stone in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not soak the stone for long periods to prevent damage. Regularly check the surface for flatness and flatten if necessary to maintain optimal sharpening performance.
