Norton Arkansas Stones have gained a reputation over the years as the finest all-purpose stones for deburring and polishing operations as well as for sharpening precision tools.
Hard Arkansas Stones are dense and fine-grained for final honing where the sharpest precision edges possible are needed. Soft Arkansas, with its less dense and more open structure, is ideal for imparting a fine, smooth surface.
Arkansas Stones are not oil-filled and should be used with Gesswein Stoning Oil for best results.
