We recommend soaking the Naniwa Arata stone for only 2-3 minutes before initial sharpening. After soaking, you can splash water on the surface to keep it wet. This stone works best with a quick soak. To develop a slurry for finer cutting, use a Nagura stone. Remember, the Nagura stone is not for flattening the whetstone, as this is a common misconception. After finishing sharpening, clean the stone and allow it to air dry naturally in a shaded position. Rapid drying can cause cracking, and leaving the stone in water can degrade its quality.
