do u have to use oil or water?

This stone requires water. I suggest that you soak it submerged for 24 hours before the first use. Turn it over several times during the 24 hour period. Each time you turn it over you will see new bubbbles of air escaping from the stone. Use the stone while WET! In subsequent uses, soak for between 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on how much 'new' air is escaping from the stone. I understand oil can be used in addition to water but I am told and have demonstrated that it is unneccessary. Good Luck!

What size is the stone?

The stone is 7 inches long, 1 inch high and 1 and 1/4 inch wide. Works very well. Just need to let it dry out if you store it away so you don't get mildew being in a closed container.

what micron does the grit uses?

The grit is measured in CAMI (Coated Abrasive Manufacturers Institute) nomenclature as 1,000 grit (1000 particles per inch) or about 10.3 microns.

Is the stone supposed to dissolve? Just started using it and it seems to be dissolving as I use it.

Technically no. All stones will wear but this one is super soft. I won't be buying again. I've already had to flatten mine after only having used it a few dozen times.

PRODUCT DETAILS - Materials: Silicon Carbide. Dimensions: (L) 7" x (W) 2.25" x (H) 1.13". Color: Blue Gray.

Features Include: • 2 sided rectangle stone block • Side A (darker green): 400grit for rough grinding, to return edges to their original shape. • Side B (lighter green): 1000grit is for fine finishing, smoothing and polishing cutting edges. • In addition, with these stones the worn material and the water form a slurry, which in conjunction with the stone, sharpens and polishes the blade. • Overall dimensions: 7 x 2.25 x 1.125 inches Instructions: Submerge the stone in water for about 5 - 10 minutes. Continue to apply water while sharpening. The stone releases small particles during the sharpening process; this powder in combination with water allows the sharpening. Place the stone on a slip-resistant base like a towel. Start by using the coarser grit of the stone.Move the blade back and forth at an angle of 10° - 15° using gentle pressure.Start at the tip of the blade, continue with the middle section, and finish at the end of the blade. After a while you will notice a small burr at the edge. Now repeat the same process on the other side of the blade. Finally, turn the stone over and repeat the procedure, this time using the finer grit of the stone. In order to remove the remaining burr, pull the blade at an angle over the stone. Now you will have achieved the best sharpness. Rinse the stone and clean off the grinding residue. Clean your knife with hot water. Review: Five Stars - All was as expected overall I am happy with it.
