Lubrication aids the cutting action and carries swarf away. 【JAPANESE SHARPENING STONES】The Japanese traditionally used natural sharpening stones lubricated with water. They have been doing this for many hundreds of years. The geology of Japan provided a type of stone which consists of fine silicate particles in a clay matrix.
