1. Gradation selection
   
   
   • #220 - #600 when the knife is very blunt or has a damaged or chipped cutting edge
   • #800 - #1200 for regularly sharpened, slightly dull knives
   • #1500 - #6000 for final smoothing and polishing
   
   
   
2. Sharpening
   
   1. The stone should be soaked in water a few minutes before use. When sharpening, the stone should be wet all the time.
   
   
   
   2. Place the stone steadily on the countertop. You can place a damp cloth or paper towel under the stone to prevent it from moving. The knife should be placed at an angle of 15-20 degrees to the stone.
   
   
   
   3. Depending on the type of blade:
   
   - knife sharpened on one side - sharpen 90% on one side and 10% on the other side
   -  knife sharpened on both sides - should be sharpened equally on both sides
   
   
   
   4. After sharpening, remove any burrs from the cutting edge. To do this, set the knife perpendicular to the stone and, maintaining this angle, gently move it along the entire cutting edge, once on one side and then on the other side of the blade.
   
   
   
   
3. Maintenance
   
   The stone should be thoroughly washed and dried after use. Over time, depressions may appear on the surface, which should be leveled, e.g. using a special leveling stone.
