## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does my diamond stone feel aggressive at first but smoother over time? Is it wearing out too fast?**
A: It’s normal! The rough surface sharpens aggressively at first. With use, it smooths, exposing more diamonds for consistent performance. The break-in varies but usually takes several uses. Your stone isn’t wearing out—it’s adjusting for long-term use!

**Q: Is water or oil required during the sharpening process?**
A: Avoid using water during sharpening, as it may cause the iron filings on the stone's surface to rust. Testing shows minimal difference in sharpening performance between using oil and dry sharpening, so oil is not necessary.

**Q: After using the stone, dark areas appear on its surface. Does this mean the diamonds have worn off?**
A: No, the dark areas are dried dirt from sharpening, not a sign of the diamonds wearing off. These marks don’t affect performance and can be left as is. For minor marks, use an eraser. For tough stains, clean with Bar Keepers Friend and air dry fully.

**Q: Should I use high pressure when sharpening with this diamond stone?**
A: Avoid applying excessive pressure when sharpening, as it can accelerate wear on the diamond and shorten its lifespan. Instead, use light pressure to maximize the sharpening performance of the diamond particles.

**Q: How long does it last?**
A: The lifespan depends on usage, the hardness of the materials being sharpened, and maintenance. With proper care, it can last many years, even for those sharpening 3 to 4 times a week. Regular cleaning and light pressure extend its durability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Diamond Stone
*by O***7 on 19 October 2024*

Two stones for the price of one. The stones cut extremely well and water is not required which makes clean up a breeze. It comes in a plastic case that doubles as a stone holder, with a non-slip base, adding to the value. I would recommend this to beginners and experts alike.
