- Digital Instruction
- Before using the whetstone, soak it in water for about 15 minutes
- Work in a stable location
- After use , thoroughly remove any mud, wipe off any water, and dry in the shade in a well-ventilated area.
- Please be careful of your hands while working.
- After straightening the surface, the edges will be sharp, so we recommend chamfering them. This will allow for safer sharpening of the knife.
As mentioned, most of our range is dishwasher and microwave safe, except a few ‘Crackle’ glazes, if you’re unsure then drop us an email info@mij.co.uk and we’ll be able to advise.
