What is the best sharpening stone for kitchen knives? How can you sharpen knives with a sharpening stone?
What should I do if the knife is really dull and the sharpening stone isn't working?
If your knife is extremely dull, you may need to start with a coarser grit of around 400 or 500 before moving to a finer grit like 1000 or higher. It's also important to make sure you're holding the knife at the proper angle and applying even pressure along the blade.
