Check regularly to see how your sharpening is progressing. Dry off your blade and look at it lengthwise. Both sides should have the same angle to their edges. You’ll also want to be sure they’re both flat. Dips, nicks and flat spots should all be removed by the time you reach Stage 2. Take the time, too, to clean your stone. You should do this regularly, particularly if you notice grayness, yellowness or streaks in your oil or water.
