Thread: For Crying Out Loud

The key is to stop and deal with it as soon as you notice it. I hone over a cafeteria tray, so I can be liberal with water on the hones. If I notice anything odd, I stop honing, tilt the hone lengthwise, and squirt water so that it washes off the surface from one end to the other. If that does not clear it, then I wipe my hand across the hone a few times. One of those almost always solves the promlem but if it does not then its time for a diamond plate.
