Water only , learn to get an edge, it's work and takes time until it's sharp. Then remember to touch it up after every use. You'll never have a dull knike again. 10 DEGREE angle for a sharp knife. 23 DEGREE for a boning knife . TRIED the gagets , the belts and all the other fast sharpening divices out there. Ruined a few knives on them. Have knives 70 years old sharpened on a wet stone and almost no wear on the knives , and can shave with them , if I want . You buy a knike and see scratches from a grinder on them, it takes awhile to get an good edge on it. Once you get it , and learn how to keep it , you'll never have a dull knife again . Seen cheap knives and good knives totally ruined and nothing but a small piece of steel left after a season with the FAST SHARPENING GADGETS ! We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

I'm not Lee obviously but I responded back to your post in Fall Coyotes https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/7733229#Post7733229 Matthew 7:6 KJV Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine.... -OFBA, NTA, FTA, TTFHA-

It is way faster and easier to use them than those cheap little things where you can't get a proper stroke going before you run out of stone. and make sure you keep them flat as it is next to impossible to get a decent edge a knife with a dished out stone. Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."

Found a Soft Arkansas, when I looked it up it says it’s an “Oil Stone”. Whomever had it previously used oil on it. Is this incorrect? Last edited by HobbieTrapper; 12/04/22 07:30 AM. -Goofy

Could be I'm doing it wrong, but I use the stones "dry" and then apply the oil to clean the stones before I put them away. The oil lifts/floats the debris out of the crevices so I can wipe it clean.
