No need to soak, but coat it with a little oil or at least make sure whatever you’re sharpening is oily and it should last almost forever, otherwise swarf will get embedded that is all but impossible to get out. Although I haven’t bought this stone it’s been my experience with other Norton products. See video.: The flat stone and tapered stones were used only a few times before I learned the importance and effectiveness of oil. The swarf is what is still there after degreasing, scrubbing with cleanser, etc. The long square stone has been used for many years after learning to apply oil.

Combination Grit Abrasive Sharpening Benchstones - ib6 6''x2''x1''india comb bench stone

Q: which side is coarse ?

That’s a good question and something the manufacturer should have indicated on each end of the slab. I suggest anyone considering this product consider another stone. That said although I’m still not sure, I’m using the grey side as coarse and clay as fine. Hope the manufacturer or seller chimes in and makes it more clear

Q: Did it come with anniversary box? i believe the anniversity stone is made in the usa

the stones I bought both came in a Norton factory box. Not sure what you mean by Anniversary box. Looks like a normal factory box with their logo's, etc on it.
