    Default Arkansas Stones

    I am asking all who hone,refresh and generally do their heavy lifting on Arkansas stones to post pictures and techniques here in an attempt to consolidate our favorite type of natural stones.

    Well ninety percent of the time I use my king 1k then a coti and then a black arkansas stone. Some times however I will feel spunky and use my soft to do a bevel set and then a coti and then a trans or black arkie.

    I use to have a hard ark that was really old and dished out but I gave up on trying to lap it and have since then lost it. I have no idea how old it was nor how it got so dished out but I would really like to get another one so I can try to do a full hone using only arkies.

    I have two primitive cut arkies one black and one translucent from dans. I am thinking about squaring them up though as there odd shape makes them a little hard to use for razors. I will say though that if someone has a nice professional grade saw or access to one, then getting one of the primitive cut arkies is a great option to save some money and get a pretty big stone. I think I spent 60 bucks and got a large black and large translucent stone.

    I thought there was already a giant arkie thread?
