Since this is a natural stone colors may include Grey, White, B lack/Grey, Grey/Pink, Black/ White, White or White/ Pink, or a combination of these colors. 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 leather pouch 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. Review: Great little stone - This is a very nice product that everyone that owns a knife should have. This is a tiny natural stone that would easily be carried in your pocket to be used anywhere on the go. Pro tip: use water only with it, as water is found everywhere and once you touch a natural stone with oil, you can never go back to water. Oil may work slightly better, but it's messy and water is free. That being said, the stone is rather small so larger knives would need patience. It comes with a thin leather case to protect your stone while it's being carried. The edges and corners of the stone are rounded so as to not harm a non-professional's knives while being used. Very lightweight. And for your technical information, the stone was cut using probably a 200 grit finish on it, which will need worn off with use. After this break in period of getting beyond that finish, a hard stone like this will get you to about a 1500 grit stone equivalent. So basically, sharpen your cheap knives first for the first couple of runs, and have patience before you get scary razor edges on it. This stone with water doesn't really need soaked, it's more of a splash n go. Just make sure you don't sharpen dry on it, and if you do put it in water and it bubbles, then yes let it soak that water in first until the bubbles go away. The leather case is dry and thin, I plan to add some oil on the case so to keep it lasting me longer. The stone is also one single piece, so you can use either side of it that you choose. If it ever builds up with steel, just take a scratchy soap pad to it like you're washing dishes the old fashioned way. As far as price, I feel that this is a bit expensive, but it should last you a lifetime. Review: Top quality stone! - What a beautiful stone! Cut perfectly with sharp edges at exactly 45 degrees and all surfaces are perfectly flat. All corners come to a sharp point with zero chips. I am using this stone along with Dan's "Translucent Arkansas" stone (for polishing) on a few 1911 trigger jobs. The stone is large enough to easily smooth the sides of parts such as hammers, sears, even a trigger bow before polishing with Dan's extra fine translucent stone. It takes a perfect 45 degree cut of a stone to smooth & polish hammer hooks, these stones can do that too! Make sure to use a light, clear oil when working. Wipe clean and reapply often. (I use Birchwood Casey "Sheath / Barricade" works great!) For only $13 this is not a stone, it's a steal. My next desertcart order I will be purchasing one in medium. (only $10!!!!) The cool leather pouch is a nice touch too. ## Features - Hard (Fine) Arkansas pocket sharpening stone is 3 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1/4 inch thick - Hard Arkansas (Fine) is used to establish and maintain a keen edge on any cutting tool - Ccolor can be Grey, White, Black/Grey, Grey/Pink, Black/ White, White or White/ Pink - Genuine Arkansas stone is 100% quarried in the Ouachita Mountains of Central Arkansas - Come in a leather pouch protect when not in use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015A9YIGW | | Best Sellers Rank | #349,791 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #639 in Sharpening Stones | | Brand | DAN'S WHETSTONE COMPANY, INC. | | Brand Name | DAN'S WHETSTONE COMPANY, INC. | | Color | varies between white and grey (gray), can be solid or have streaks, spots, variations by Mother Nature Color varies between white and grey (gray), can be solid or have streaks, spots, variations by Mother Nature See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 807 Reviews | | Grit Type | Fine | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3"L x 1"W x 1"H | | Item Weight | 1.12 ounces | | Manufacturer | Dan's Whetstone | | Manufacturer Part Number | FAP-13A-L | | Material | Dan's Whetstone Company, Inc.
