The Black Arkansas will hone a polished, very sharp razor\nsharp edge on knives and tools. Black Arkansas stones are used by the most\ndiscerning chefs, sportsman and woodworkers. Color can vary from dark grey, to\nblue\/black to black. Genuine Arkansas stones are 100% quarried in the Ouachita\nMountains of central Arkansas. They are highly sought after worldwide for\ntheir superior ability to sharpen knives and woodworking tools, as well as to\nput surgical quality edges on a wide variety of instruments Arkansas stones\nproduce these fine edges s with less wear that man-made stones. Arkansas\nstones are classified as Novaculite, which is extremely hard and fine grained\nrock containing almost pure silica. These stones are classified in 4 grades\nand progress from Soft to Hard to Translucent and finally to Black. Each grade\nis based on the specify gravity or density of the mineral and not the grit or\nparticle size. The grades with more dense or tightly packed particles will\nproduce a finer or sharper edge. In addition, stone grades are not determined\nby color, as color alone will not differentiate the hardness of different\nstone grades. Each grade may contain any of the following colors: black, blue-\nblack, charcoal, grey, white, multi-color, brown, pink or red, or a\ncombination of these colors in a single stone. These stones come in a leather\npouch to protect them when not in use. All Arkansas stones work best with\nlight mineral honing oil to suspend the metal particles produced by the\nsharpening process which prevents clogging of the pores of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eBlack surgical Arkansas pocket sharpening stone is 3 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1\/4 inch thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eThis is the hardest of the Arkansas stones and will hone a polished, very sharp razor sharp edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eColor can vary from dark grey, to blue\/black to black.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eGenuine Arkansas stone is 100% quarried in the Ouachita Mountains of Central Arkansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eCome in a leather pouch to protect when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DAN'S WHETSTONE COMPANY, INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58176118292640,"sku":"B015AA288G","price":170.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0418\/7134\/3776\/files\/B015AA288G.jpg?v=1784011112","url":"https:\/\/dingoship.com.au\/products\/genuine-arkansas-black-surgical-ultra-fine-pocket-knife-sharpening-stone-whetstone-3-x-1-x-1-4-in-leather-pouch-bap-13a-l","provider":"DingoShip AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
