The Bevel Sharp Diamond Stone can be used dry. It is not recommended to add oil or water to your Bevel Sharp stone for sharpening.
Step 1:
Hold the Bevel Sharp in one hand with the diamond stone side facing up. Holding the knife in your opposite hand, place the knife against the stone at a 20 degree angle with the edge of the blade facing away from you.
Step 2:
Sweep one side of the knife blade across the stone. Slowly slide the blade down the stone and sweep it in an arc as it moves. You should draw the entire edge of the blade from heel to tip across the stone so it’s evenly sharpened. Continue to run the first side of the blade against the stone until it appears sharp.
Step 4:
Test the sharpness of the knife. Once you think you’ve completely sharpened your knife, wash it and dry it. Hold a piece of paper up and try to slice down through it using the knife. If the knife has been properly sharpened it should easily cut through the sheet of paper. If it does not cut through the paper, repeat steps 1-4 to achieve the desired sharpness.
