Use & Precaution

This #500 grit is a coarse sharpening stone designed for restoring dull edges and repairing minor damage before refining the edge on a finer grit stone.

This stone does not require soaking before use. Simply splash with water and begin sharpening.

After use, allow the stone to dry completely before storing. Returning the stone to its case while still damp may result in mould and could reduce its lifespan.
