This Arkansas Stone combo can handle your sharpening needs from start through to sharpest edge. This is a great set for knives, plane blades, chisels and, for that matter, anything requiring an edge. This set includes three 6" x 2" x 1/2" stones – Soft, Hard and Hard Black Arkansas Stones – in a wood storage box with a bottle of light mineral oil.
Start on the Soft Arkansas (400-600 grit) to create an edge, then switch to the Hard (800-1000 grit) to further refine, and finally, polish on the Hard Black Arkansas (2000-3000 grit) to create a perfectly sharp edge. Stones can be used with or without lubrication, but we suggest light oil, which will keep the stones’ surface fresh and free from glazing that could potentially diminish the stones’ performance.
