Okay guys,

Just got in 400/800/3000 Naniwa Choseras. I know not to let them soak long, and can be used splash and go. I read on another forum that is says (in Japanese) on the box to soak for 20-30 minutes. How long do you guys let them soak, if at all?

Thanks

Just wanted to add, I have never gotten my Necker 2 as sharp as now with these stones! I mainly let them soak for 5 minutes or so, then went at it. I wasn't even really trying to polish but that 3000 stone really did it up!
 
DO NOT SOAK CHOSERA STONES!!!!!!

You run the risk of causing cracking.

Soaking them has zero beneifit.
 
I have used every stone from the line, they will all splash-n-go. If it seems very dry then put it under running water for 30 seconds.
 
I usually spray the Chosera stones with water and let them set for a few minutes. As has been said soaking isn't needed.
 
Thanks for the info all. I kind of figured just splash n go, but I figured a few minutes soak wouldn't hurt. Using them again tonight, just splashing, and works great.
