Soft Arkansas (Medium): This is the coarsest, most versatile and most popular
of the Arkansas stones. Soft Arkansas stones are used to quickly put an
initial edge on dull or neglected knives or other cutting tools. This is a
natural stone and color can vary from white to gray black to pink gray, or a
combination of these colors in a single stone. 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 surgical quality edges on a wide variety
of instruments Arkansas stones produce these fine edges s with less wear that
manmade stones. Arkansas stones are classified as Novaculite, which is
extremely hard and fine grained 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 specify 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, blue-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 fitted wooded box to protect them when not in use. All
Arkansas stones work best with light mineral honing oil to suspend the metal
particles produced by the sharpening process which prevents clogging of the
pores of the stone.
