King Two Sided Sharpening Stone with Base - #1000 & #6000
Preparation:
Soak the King #1000 grit side for roughly 2 minutes, and the splash water on the #6000 grit side.
Caution:
- Please do not soak finishing stones (#3000 and above). Soaking a finishing stone will result in the stone cracking and breaking.
- Returning a stone into a box while still wet or damp will result in molding and decreasing quality.
- For double sided stone, please only soak the medium stone side (#1000). Failure to do so will result in the stone splitting and or breaking.
