Stones are the clasic tool for cleaning and polishing a sear but the ceramincs are better. They remove metal quite fast enough and use water as a lube.. Also they don't wear unevenly and really don;t wear much at all... For the most part the Brownells white ceramic ground stones are best, They allow fine work with a small outlay of cash, The not ground stones are nearly as good but lack the fine edge that sometimes comes in so handy.
