• In regard to step 6: If you're not careful, the blade may also penetrate about a half centimeter (1/4 inch) into the hand as well; it is likely to be be painful. If you are not comfortable with a chef's knife, in order to avoid injury, you may devise another method of removing the stone.
  Thanks.
