They are Whetstones meaning they require using water only, using oil will clog the grits and lose effectivenessKeep in mind this is not an oil stone but wet stone using water as lubricant while sharpening knives.
The little white stone serves two purposes, one being to create a slurry to whetstone and the second function is to level whetstone to create a smooth level surface for sharpening. The slurry firms to sharpen and polish the blade such that it will become razor sharp.
The courser grit should be used initially to shape the edge then finer grit used as the final to polish a razor sharp edge.
Absolutely, the MIKARTO Sharpening Stones are perfect for beginners. There is a knife angle guide in the sharpening stone kit which ensures your knife will be at the perfect angle every time.
