NOTAS SOBRE EL AFILADO

Here are some basic rules for sharpening your own knives:

1. For best results, soak your stone for before use to prevent “clogging”
2. Fasten the stone using a clamp, or place it on a damp kitchen towel so it doesn’t slip or slide while sharpening
3. Hold the blade at the correct angle (15° to 20°) and work to maintain the angle throughout the sharpening process
4. Apply consistent pressure as you stroke the blade towards you, then flip the blade and make the same number of strokes on the reverse side.

Please note we are not authorities on this process, and Flotsam&Fork assumes no responsibility for the results sharpening. Blades are sharp. improper use of a whetstone can be unforgiving. Proceed with care and caution.
