Depends on the tri-hone system. I've seen a few variations. If it's the soft/hard/translucent-surgical black variety? You can get an edge on your straight that you'll love, if you burnish the Translucent/Black appropriately.

Some of the ones with a synthetic in place of the soft Arkansas can be used to set a bevel, but with a little patience you can do that on a soft Arkie too. I have a soft and hard 8x3 bench stone, and a few Translucents I use from time to time. They're good stuff.

Thank you
