Step 1: You Will Need
A whetstone
A dull knife
Two coins
Step 2:
You'll notice two sides on your whetstone.
One fine, one coarse.
Start with the coarse side.
Step 3:
Rest the knife on the coins like this. This is the angle that you will sharpen.
Step 4:
REMOVE THE COINS.
This is essential, because it can ruin the whetstone if you don't.
Keep the same angle that you had.
Step 5:
Slide the knife down the stone.
When you have done this about five minutes on a good blade, switch sides on the knife.
After five minutes on that side, switch the stone around and repeat.
