Thread: A question for the hone masters

I use Pike/Norton lilly white washita and a soft arkansas for pocket knives. I also have the translucent and the hard black, but I wouldn't bother gilding the lilly with those. They are for razors if I take a notion to go that way. DMT D8C for my Chicago Cutlery kitchen knives I bought 30 years ago.

I would second the motion on the Arkansas stones. I've always kept them handy for small tools, they're affordable, easy to use, and don't require much maintenance. They're pretty cool to work with too.

here's a good affordable option if you want something multi purpose and affordable .a three stone India set for 49 $ I have the set in this picture on my table.nice course , medium and fine set.CAM 8x3x.5
