How to Use an Oil Sharpening Stone

As the name suggests, an oil stone is used for sharpening in conjunction with oil. For this purpose, honing oil is used, which ensures the removal of abraded steel debris from the stone.

Sharpen the knife using smooth strokes against the edge (into the stone). After sharpening, apply a few more drops of honing oil to the stone and wipe the stone clean.
