is my honing stone ruined?
I will post pictures later im at work
so i have a generic japanese taidea 1k/8k whetstone
i recently bought a norton lapping stone and lapped it with water running while lapping. the center of the stone looks pitted and is not smooth.
should i keep lapping it? or what is wrong, i fear if i try to sharpen with it it will ruin my blades
is my honing stone ruined?
Funny story my Taidea, a 3/8k which I never use anymore is hard as nails. I keep it lapped on my Dia-Flat no problem. I'm with eddy diamond plate or flatten the flattening stone out first on sandpaper.
Out of curiosity what did you get the 1/8k combo for? Meaning what made you get that over the 3/8k?
