How to Use the JIS 3000 Diamond Whetstone

The 3000-grit diamond whetstone is ideal for general sharpening and restoring knife edges.

Instructions for use

1. Preparation
2. It is not necessary to soak the stone. For smoother sharpening, you can lightly moisten it with water.
3. Setting the angle
4. Hold the knife at an angle of approximately 15–20° - you can use the RISAM sharpening angle guide
5. Sharpening
6. Draw the knife across the stone from heel to tip with light pressure. Repeat several times on one side, then flip the knife and repeat the process.
7. Finishing
8. Finally, use light strokes without pressure to fine-tune the edge.
9. Maintenance
10. After use, rinse the stone with water, let it dry, and store it in the plastic case.
