Product Description
Soft Arkansas (Medium): This is used to establish and maintain a sharp edge on cutting tools. Since this is a natural stone colors may include Grey, White, Black/Grey, Grey/Pink, Black/White, White or White/Pink, or a combination of these colors. Genuine Arkansas stones are 100% quarried in the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas. They are highly sought after worldwide for their superior ability to sharpen knives and woodworking tools, as well as to put quality edges on a wide variety of instruments Arkansas Novaculite stones produce these fine edges s with less wear on your blade than manmade stones. Dan's Arkansas Stones are classified as Novaculite, which is extremely hard and fine grained crystalline structure rock containing almost pure silica. These stones are classified in 4 grades and progress from Soft to Hard to Translucent and finally to Black. Each grade is based on the specific gravity or density of the mineral and not the grit or particle size. The grades with more dense or tightly packed particles will produce a finer or sharper edge. In addition, stone grades are not determined by color, as color alone will not differentiate the hardness of different stone grades. Each grade may contain any of the following colors: black, charcoal, grey, white, multi-color, brown, pink or red, or a combination of these colors in a single stone. These stones come in a leather pouch to protect them when not in use. All Arkansas stones work best with a light mineral honing oil to suspend the metal particles produced by the sharpening process which prevents clogging of the pores of the stone.

(They recommend you use knife sharpening lubricant, but I just used water and it worked out great, but I’m sure with the proper materials, it’s an unbelievable edge. The sheath it comes with is a light cream color unlike the pictures here, but I used brown leather dye I already had to color it, which you can do yourself as well. but it wasn’t really necessary. If you have leather dye already, it’s a nice touch, but I wouldn’t spend $10 on leather dye for one tiny little pouch.)
