I bought mine 5months ago, its a good stone oil base which means its good enough to sharpen a knife approximately 20 times before the stone breaks and or wears down where its useless. the stone is approximately 8inches long, 3inches wide, weight approximately 1 lbs.

I don't use anything, I just keep it in a kitchen drawer and it puts a decent edge on my German steel knives. If you want something like a razor you could start out with this and finish up with a diamond stone. I think I paid $6 for mine and it's worth that. It's probably not a stone for a purist but just a good, everyday stone.

I have read that any basic oil would work but the fragrance additives etc. I would be more trusting of using mineral oil. I have used olive oil in the past as well but more expensive than mineral oil.

Deionized aqua water is the first ingredient. There is Jojoba oil in it, but it appears to be a water based product.

I have used oil and just water. Both work great but, I'd use one or the other. Other wise, it will just wear out the stone. I was just using the stone to sharpen my lawn mower blade and my machete, today. It's an awesome stone.

In the water reservoir and as much as you need. If i'm using one oil,I usually use one or two drops. Multiple oils , I use 2 drops of each.

Good question....i ended up solely putting the oil directly into the water...the aroma is stronger that way

Hello, thank you for taking interest in our products! The clean liquid inside is an oil (glycerin) based substance--not water. - Customer Service.

It is a water based spray. May notice that it is slightly greasy, but not too much. Works great though...

I just simply added water, and I have done this several times. It works. I don't think you should add oil of any kind. I did that once... it was a mess... I had to throw the dough away after adding the oil.

I just got the herbicide yesterday, & I'm reading the directions now. It clearly states to NOT mix oil & water as it apparently affects the efficacy. So, I suppose, you need to choose using one or the other.

Ok when solution has dried. I would mix with water instead of oil......solution would dry sooner.

I'd say ultrasonic from the product description.."An ultrasonic element at the bottom atomizes the water and the oil to diffuse the aroma".

From the owner manual: "You should only add water treatments that are specifically made...Using water treatments that are not recommended could damage the humidifier". Personally, I suspect oil would gunk up the works.

Oil is best but water with drop of dish soap will work. It's a decent stone.

No, its uses a special type of oil/water thing. I suggest you return them and buy new ones.

Hi Scott, it's recommended to use water based lube with the UR3 type materials.

Mineral oil. It arrives with absolutely no moisture. Read up on caring for a bamboo cutting board.
