Need some opinions. I have an aquaintence who is a knifemaker. He saw my workshop the other day and I had some norton combo stones soaking in distilled water. He was horrified to learn that they are continuously soaking like that and have been for a couple of years except for a water change every couple months. He insists that I am Ruining them by constant immersion. I haven't noticed any change in the way they hone razors. If anything they are better than new. Am I wrecking them? This fellow couldn't tell me how that works. Just that it does. Hmmm.
