Arkansas Natural Stones
Arkansas stones are natural stones from quarries in the US state of Arkansas. Its grinding mineral Novaculite is very hard bonded and very dense. Due to these characteristics the Arkansas natural stone has a low wear and tear and a good stock removal. Oil is used for grinding with the Arkansas stone which is why it is also called Arkansas oil stone. Arkansas stones are suitable for fine grinding and deburring of the chamfers / blades of knives and tools.
