Rust on Diamond stones.

How do I get rid of it? My fine grit stone developed a lot of rust while I redoing the edge on my ESEE 4 (1095 steel)

It's the steel from the knife.

Clean with barkeepers friend.

 

[Doogoon]

cool, where do I get that?

BreakFree works well on diamond hones. Spray or wipe on a light coat, leave overnight for best results, and wipe off with a soft cloth. It lifts out the micro-particles and restores the hone's cutting properties.
