Frequently Asked Questions

What does a piece of soft water stone provide?

A soft stone continuously releases fresh abrasive grains, which form an abundant sludge on its surface. This sludge works the steel quickly and provides a very distinct bite, particularly appreciated on carbon steels. In return, the stone wears down faster and needs to be flattened more often. For very hard powder steels, a firmer 1000-grit stone will generally be more effective, as it resists these carbides better.

Should a soft stone be smoothed more often?

Yes. As it wears down faster than a hard stone, its surface hollows out more quickly in the center. Check its flatness every one or two sessions with a straightedge, and flatten it on a plate as soon as a hollow appears. This operation takes only a few minutes with a soft stone, precisely because it wears easily. A well-flattened surface ensures a consistent angle, prevents rounding the edge, and makes each sharpening session more predictable, from the heel to the tip.
