How to use your whetstone

1. Soak the stone in cold water for 5 minutes.
2. Place the stone on its bamboo base, 3000 grit side up.
3. Hold the blade at 15–20° and make steady strokes from heel to tip.
4. Repeat on the other side of the blade.
5. Turn the stone to the 8000 grit side to refine and polish the edge.
6. Rinse the blade and the stone with clean water.

• Never put the knives in the dishwasher.
• Wash the knives by hand and wipe the blade thoroughly with a dry, soft cloth to keep the edge performing well.
• Clean the blades with soapy water.
• If your knives have a wooden handle, dry it thoroughly before storing.
• No knife stays sharp forever, whatever the blade: sharpen it as soon as the edge cuts less cleanly.
• Do not use the edge of the knife to sweep food across the board; use the spine of the blade instead.
• Never use the rough side of a sponge to clean the blades.
• Cut on a wooden board to avoid damaging the edge of your knives.
• Do not cut in a pan or an oven dish, which damages the blade.
