Black Ark more beautiful then I thought
Pictures don't do this stone justice l. Much finer then I thought it would be. Super smooth to hone on. Came 100% flat and with a nice smooth surface. All I've got to do now is break it in and I'll do that but first I'm going to see if it will finish a razor as is. Attachment 202744
It's an 8x3 which I've never had a stone this size before.
It really reminds me feedback wise of a MST Muller stone but not totally the same. I'm going to be selling my water stones and moving to oilstones for the time being, for me they provide greater feedback and if time isn't of the essence which it isn't in my case they can be perfect for use. It's a very YMMV thing.
Anyways enough rambling I just wanted to show you all my new stone. Cost an arm and almost half of a leg but it was worth it!

Now where are your soft, Washita and hard Arks??
I don't need a soft or hard with a washita, can go directly from washita > hard black and that's all she wrote. One side of mine cuts fine and the other cuts coarser. My washita is sitting beside my black in the drawer :p
I'll edit on a nice vintage washita you can go from it straight to a black Arkansas. I'm not sure about the washita dans sells. They're not the same as the old vintage pike mine stones. (From Davew)
