Hey! You said not to joke about this stuff.

What if everyone starts contacting the Los Alamos labs for their honing water?


Back to reality and to leadduck...
You wrote in your original post that you cannot say the name of the 12k hone with which you experienced this. Is that because you don't know its name or that you really don't want to say what it is? Could you at least say if it is a natural or a synthetic hone? I'm curious because it is odd for higher grit hones to suck up water quickly.

The Norton 220 and 1000 grit hones are very thirsty. I use them in a container that keeps them partially submerged while honing but I still have to add water to them very frequently--like every 30 seconds. I would assume that unlike these Nortons, if you soak your mystery 12k for a while, it should no longer be so thirsty and you should be able to hone with it just fine.

Why do you think TBS lives in New Mexico?

Yeah, I noticed that!

Now, where did I put my Geiger counter?

Yea, there's this tunnel under my house....
