Arkansas Sharpeners
Natural Arkansas grindstones mined in the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas, USA. Arkansas whetstone is very durable and more efficient in grinding than classic water stones. Due to its high hardness, it rarely requires lapping or leveling. Arkansas whetstones are composed of novaculite, which is microcrystalline 99.9% silica. Since these are natural stones, their grain size cannot be determined exactly. Stone types are from Soft Arkansas (grit 400-600), Hard Arkansas (grit 800-1000), Black Arkansas (grit 2000 - 3000) to the rare Translucent Arkansas (grit 8000 - 10000). Honing oil must be used when honing on natural Arkansas stone. Novaculite has been mined since prehistoric times, and nowadays the stones are extremely valued for their versatility and durability.

Natural Arkansas whetstones are mined in the mountains of Ouachita, Arkansas in the US. Arkansas sharpening stones are very durable and more effective at grinding than classic waterstones. Due to its high hardness, it rarely requires lapping or leveling. Arkansas stones consist of novaculite, which is microcrystalline 99.9% pure silica. As these are natural stones, their grain size cannot be precisely determined. The types of stones varies from Soft Arkansas (grit size 400 - 600), Hard Arkansas (grain size 800 - 1000), Black Arkansas (grit size 2000 - 3000) to the rare Translucent Arkansas (grit size 8000 - 10000). When grinding on Arkansas natural stone, honing oil should be used. Arkansas whetstones are therefore also called oil stones. The extraction of novaculite has been going on since prehistoric times, and today the stones are extremely valued for their versatility and durability.
