Save the Ark for your knives, it's good. Get yourself a set of Norton wet stones, 4 and 8k. You'll be glad you did.

Long Live the Norton 4/8K!

My Norton 4/8 is my workhorse! While I finish on a Naniwa12k I could easily live off of the 8k for the rest of my life!!

If I were to drop and break the 12k I could live without it for awhile if I were to break the 4/8 I’d live off of peanut butter sandwiches so that I could afford a new one!
