Lubrication Breeds Longevity

Using the appropriate lubrication when sharpening tools is crucial for maintaining the integrity of sharpening stones. Water stones require ample water to function effectively, preventing damage to the stone and ensuring optimal performance. Saturation of the stone is indicated by the cessation of bubbles, signaling readiness for use. Aquatic or oily support preserves the grit, enhancing the sharpening process and prolonging the stone's lifespan. For home setups, having a dedicated sharpening stone, whether water-based or oil-based, is essential for achieving efficient and effective sharpening results.
