| It was a long journey from the Colorado School of Mines to Arkansas, but whetstone customers from around the world are glad mining engineer Danny Kirschman made that journey. Danny knew that in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas lay nearly pure silica rock formations known as Novaculite - a compact, quartzose rock deriving its name from “Novacula,” a Latin word meaning “sharp knife.” This natural Arkansas stone has a crystalline structure of individual quartz grains with voids and exposures of crystalline edges that enhance the sharpening ability of this natural abrasive. Dan's whetstones not only sharpen blades to a flawless edge, but polish them, too. Whether you're hunting in the North Woods or creating a woodworking masterpiece, Dan's Arkansas whetstones and Honing Oil will give your knives and tools the cutting edge you need. |
