Use & Care

• Do not leave the sharpening stone soaking in water for a long time. After use, ensure it is thoroughly dried before putting it away. Excess moisture may cause the stone to soften, reducing its strength and longevity.
• Keep the stone away from outdoor environments and direct sunlight, as such conditions can cause it to crack, degrade, or become damaged.
• Avoid applying hot water, soap, or abrasive cleaners to the stone. Exposure to sudden temperature changes or harsh chemicals can lead to cracking and reduced effectiveness.
• Avoid using a dishwasher or dryer when cleaning the sharpening stone. Exposure to rapid temperature changes or strong impacts may result in cracking or chipping.
• After each use, rinse the stainless steel case with water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use chlorine-based bleach, scouring pads, or cleansers, as they may cause rusting, corrosion, or surface scratches.
