 Prior to using the
wet stone it should be completely soaked in water for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Please make sure that the stone is always slightly wet during the sharpening
process. |

 When sharpening single-edged knives the ground side should be
treated first. Make sure that you maintain the original angle given by KAI. If
at all possible apply an angle of 45° (to achieve the best possible surface).
Grind towards the edge using pressure; release the pressure on the way back.
Apply as often as necessary to achieve the desired degree of sharpness. Once
finished on this side, turn the blade over and start on the other side but only
approx. 1/10th as often as before. |

 Double-edged knives need the same treatment but with an angle
of 15°. Both sides need to be ground evenly to restore the symmetrically ground
edge. |
