PLEASE do not sharpen your reed knife on the stone in your picture!

At least FLATTEN it first - look for this on websites, but easiest way is to stick fine sandpaper (or wet-and-dry) to a flat piece of thick glass and rub the stone flat on it. Rub diagonally, in both directions.

You cannot get a smooth, flat, sharp edge on a blade using a lumpy stone.
