Soak the grindstone in water beforehand and soak it in water. When sharpening, black sharpening juice comes out, but the sharpening juice is a mixture of water and the abrasive grains of the grindstone. Please do not wash it off as it will be important for sharpening the knife. The grindstone dries while sharpening, but if it is left as it is, frictional heat will put a burden on the blade, so it is important to sharpen while adding water each time.
When sharpening, place the knife at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees to the grindstone. Gently place your finger on the blade and slide it over the grindstone while maintaining the angle. Be conscious of sharpening both sides evenly so that there is no warp. It's hard to get the hang of it, but if you don't rush and sharpen it slowly, you'll get the hang of it. The video that introduces how to sharpen is also helpful, so please check it out.
For your first Mora knife, choose a compact, versatile type. Even if you purchase a model for advanced users from the beginning, it may not be usable by beginners. The appeal of Mora knives is that they are reasonably priced and easy to purchase. Please scrutinize and find the best one.
