    Some times you can boil a hone to get the oil out. It may take a few tries to get it all. Either that, or just use it as an oil stone.

    Never tried it myself, but a guy who used to post here years ago used Easy Off oven cleaner to good effect. He said to get the one with the blue label IIRC for the less smelly type. Can't say for sure but I've seen Arkansas Washita stones that looked like yours. If so it is a good hone for pocket knives IME.

    Lol I'm gonna need some bigger knives. This thing is massive. The slurry is a very creamy white. I'm gonna try the oven cleaner.

    I was thinking that it looked suspiciously like a Wahita stone as well.

    I ben cleaning my dirty stone buys with out shop degreaser lytex gloves and old tooth brush and two bus tubs.
    First for washing the stone next bus tub for rinsing the chemical off the stone. Then I rinse some more under running water just to be safe.

    That gets it off of the surface but if you are planning on using it as a water stone, the old oil will creep out of the stone.
