Thread: ok new dumb question

If it is actually a pair of Arkansas stones glued together, the price isn't out of line, but it would be a hard white bonded to a soft arkansas as they can be grey.

The hard white is roughly 1200 grit and won't cuts very slowly. There may be guys who have put a shaving edge on a razor with one of these, but i don't know any, and though the edge would cut hair it wouldn't be comfortable at all.

The soft Arkansas is rougher and only suitable for rough sharpening knives.

I use this combination on many of my knives, the grey to give an edge and the white to finish it, but its just way to rough for razors.


I've got a couple of links to budjet stones, I'll find and post.
