Seki, Japan, the cutlery capital, is situated in the center of the Japanese Archipelago. For centuries, Seki swords were renowned as effective swords that neither bent nor broke. During the civil wars from the late 1400s to early 1600s, Seki swords were favored by the Samurai warriors. Therefore, Seki prospered and became Japan's most famous sword manufacturing center.

HOW TO SHARPEN YOUR KNIVES AND TOOLS:

Step 1.
Soak the whetstone in the water before use (about 5 minutes). For safety sharpening of the blade, hold the stone in a wet cloth or otherwise secure as preferred.

Step 2.
For Double beveled blade
Set the blade on stone with the length of the blade at an angle of 45 degree to the length of stone, then maintain an angle 10-20 degree to the stone while moving the blade firmly and smoothly over the stone until you feel slight burring on other side of the blade. When finished one side edge, then turn the blade and set on the stone and repeat the process alternatively. When removing burr, set the blade flat on the stone and scrape blade edge lightly to the arrow direction.

For Single beveled blade
Rest the blade flat on the stone, then angle it to match the bevel. Move the blade across the stone. After finished bevel side, lay the other side flat on the stone. Move the blade in the radio of 20 (bevel side) and 3 (after turned).

Step 3:
After use the whetstone, rinse it and wipe off the residue. Store it protected from direct sunlight. If a worn stone surface has become concave, it can be corrected using a dressing stone or water proof sand paper.

Reminder:
* When sharpening, handle blade carefully to avoid any injury.
* Do not remain stone soaked after used.
* Whetstone is fragile. Do not drop or bump.
