Hey knife people! I'm doing some long-term traveling and my knives have gone dull. I found a hardware store that sold a sharpening stone for $5 and I jumped on it. How do I use this thing correctly? It's very light brown and somewhat smooth, the package says it's from Italy. It's about the size of a cigarette, but in a half-cylinder shape.

Kinda figured out what to do via youtube, apparently I have a ceramic pocket stone. This thing looks fragile, I think I'm going to keep it wrapped in a sock when on my bike. I'm soaking it in water for a couple minutes with no other prepwork, I assume this is fine for a couple stainless pocketknives? They turned out alright, not nearly as sharp as I was expecting but a big improvement. I think I have to work on my backhand angle, it may be too high.
