How to Use

1. Select the appropriate Arkansas stone for your sharpening needs.

   • Soft Arkansas for maintaining an already sharp edge.

   • Hard Arkansas for honing and polishing a finished edge.

2. Place the bench stone on a stable, flat surface.

3. Apply a light coating of honing oil to the surface of the stone.

4. Match the sharpening angle of the blade to its existing bevel.

5. Using light, even pressure, push the blade across the stone in a smooth slicing motion while maintaining a consistent angle.

6. Repeat 3 to 4 strokes on one side of the blade before sharpening the opposite side.

7. Continue alternating sides until the edge is sharp and polished.

8. Clean the stone after each use and store it in a cool, dry place.

Sharpening Tips

For the best results, progress through a series of sharpening stones, starting with coarser grits before finishing on the Hard Arkansas stone.

Begin with 3 to 4 strokes per side, then reduce to 2 strokes per side, and finish with 1 light stroke per side to produce a refined, polished edge.

Using consistent sharpening angles throughout the process will deliver the best possible results and maximise edge performance.
