I found this stone in my late grandpa's things. I can't find a tutorial on how to use it safely. Any ideas?

Definitely an axe stone, I have one like it for keeping my American woods axe keen for limb lopping and light felling.

You could use it to sharpen a pocket knife, but they are usually too rough to get a fine edge. Fine for a knife that does rough work like a woods knife, but a pocket knife should be sharper than the stone can do.
