Sharpening knife on DC4 whetstone

How to use your whetstone

If your knife is dull, we advise you to start with a diamond stone. After restoring the edge to original shape, de-burr the edge lightly with the grey side of the ceramic stone in order to get a razor-sharp edge. The white side of the CC4 is a very smooth ceramic stone, it´s mostly used for polishing the edge. Use no oil or water. Start by laying the blade flat on the stone, raise the blade spine approx. the thickness of the blade, and start moving the knife in circular motions.

The ink trick

Color the edge with a felt-tip pen. You can check your progress in sharpening the knife by observing where the color is removed.

How to check the sharpness

To check the sharpness of your knife, pull the edge very lightly on your finger nail. If it cuts, the knife is certainly sharp enough for most tasks.

Leather strop

The back of the leather cover functions as a leather strop. Together with our green honing compound “Chrox” it works well for stropping knife edges. See photo below.
