This Soft Arkansas Whetstone is the rarest and finest abrasive stone in existence. This is an excellent general purpose stone. It has a grit equivalent between a Black Hard Arkansas (ultra fine) and Washite (coarse). This is probably going to be your most often used stone.
It is a pure form of genuine Novaculite rock, found only in the area surrounding Hot Springs, Arkansas. With light Honing Oil and smooth even strokes, this rare stone can put a quality edge on any blade. This is the Aston Martin of sharpening stones that will last a lifetime!
Mounted on a hardwood block. Variations in color are entirely the work of nature and in no way affect the quality of the stone.
