Start by soaking the whetstone in water for about 10 minutes before use. Hold the blade at the correct angle (usually around 15-20 degrees) and gently slide it across the stone in a consistent motion, applying light pressure. Repeat on both sides of the blade until the desired sharpness and polish are achieved. Rinse the blade and stone with water after use and dry thoroughly.

After each use, clean the whetstone with water to remove metal particles and debris. Avoid using soap or detergents as they can damage the stone's surface. Store the stone in a dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to prevent cracking or warping. Occasionally flatten the stone surface if it becomes uneven to maintain effective sharpening.
