Genuine Arkansas Pocket Knife Sharpening Stones Set: Soft & Hard, 3 x 1, in Leather Pouches (MAP-13A-L/FAP-13A-L)

Presented here is a duo of authentic Arkansas pocket sharpeners, featuring a Soft (Medium) and a Hard (Fine) variant. Each stone boasts a thickness of 1 inch and measures 3 inches in dimension. To ensure their protection when not in use, they arrive encased within a sleek leather pouch.

The Soft Arkansas, being the coarsest yet highly versatile, reigns supreme among the Arkansas family. Ideal for swiftly restoring dull or neglected blades and cutting tools, its natural appearance varies from shades of white to gray/black, occasionally punctuated with pink/gray hues, presenting a unique blend within each stone.

The Hard Arkansas (Fine) serves as the cornerstone for maintaining and refining sharpness in your cutting implements. Its natural color palette encompasses grey, white, black/grey, grey/pink, black/white, and combinations of these, showcasing the rich diversity found in genuine Arkansas stones.

Genuine Arkansas stones, sourced 100% from the Ouachita Mountains in central Arkansas, are globally renowned for their exceptional prowess in honing knives, woodworking tools, and even delicate surgical instruments, granting them a high level of precision. Notably, these natural stones demonstrate superior edge-sharpening capabilities compared to synthetic alternatives, enduring less wear during the honing process.

To optimize their performance, Arkansas stones excel when paired with light mineral honing oil. This oil suspends metal particles generated during sharpening, preventing clogging of the stone's pores. It's worth noting that the appearance of the stones, as well as the color of the accompanying leather pouch, may exhibit variations, adding a touch of individuality to each set.
