    Good for pocket knives. I have one and use it sometimes before a soft Arkansas. Not for razors AFAIC. YMMV.

    I have a washita that I used for bevel setting with mixed results before. Had better success with just a soft white. The washita probably could be used for taking chips out but like everything with arks it takes time.

    A lily white washita should be as hard as a hard ark and cuts faster too
