How can I "refresh" my Lansky stones?

[darthsoaker]

My extra coarse and coarse Lansky hones have lost a lot of their cutting ability.
The seem to kind of "slide" over the knife edge instead of cutting. :grumpy:

Is their any way to "refresh" them?

Thanks.

i had an ez sharp that was similar to a lansky. when my stones quit cutting i would spray them with carb cleaner first and if that didnt work i would rub them on a new concrete block to flatten them back out and get past the dulled surface of the stone.

What Richard said should work. I dont own a lansky, but to clean my sharpening stones I poor clean sand over a flat concrete surface and "scrub 'em flat".

Rub a pink eraser over the surface and it will pull a lot of the clogging out. Comet cleanser and a scotchbrite pad will work too. I have also used Easy-off oven cleaner to clean them.

Comet and an old toothbrush work for most of my stone cleaning needs.

Are we saying this stone is 'glazed' or 'clogged' or are these the same thing?
