2nds. Own one of Dan Whestone's sharpening stones handsomely packaged in an aromatic cedar box. In the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas lie the 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. Use with honing oil to keep your stone free of shavings that can clog the pores of the stone and make it less effective.

By Possum Pitt Pete from Columbia, South Carolina on 09/29/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Effective, Versatile Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great piece of Arkansas Stone.
By Pat the Motorcyclist from Austin, TX on 09/03/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This sharpening stone and its' case are almost a work of art, even if the manufacturer labels them "seconds." Along with the occasional bottle of honing oil, this should meet sharpening needs for at least several lifetimes.
By rjcowboy from minnesota on 08/01/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Effective Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It is exactly as advertised...a piece of stone. Don't know why these are seconds, there are no discernible flaws or defects. I'm using it to put an edge on a handmade Alaskan hunting knife.
