Thread: Eureka Springs Ark???

Anyone recognize this maker?


For years I've thought they were a Smith's because of the stamp color and the font, especially on the soft, the S is identical to to Smith's logo S. Then I had a "Eureka" moment, pun intended, when I noticed, wait a minute, Smith's isn't in Eureka Springs, they're in Hot Springs. Best information I can find is they have never been in Eureka Springs.

Perhaps it is a Smith's product and they have a location there which I just couldn't find information on or maybe they made it for a tourist attraction there. Or maybe it isn't their product at all. I didn't buy them new so I didn't see them in the packaging if there was any. Just hoping someome saw them in a package or knows something else about their origin. They are good quality stones. I am just really curious now.

How's the action on that stone?

Probably a great finisher for a knife, or part of a progression for a razor. JMO.

But that's Nats for ya, None the same.

It is a great stone. Feedback is really good and and it leaves a real nice frosty finish on a knife edge. Honestly, I've never used this one on razors, as I sort of have that part of the progression covered with wider stones. But if you have geometry problems, it would be good I suppose.

Mainly, I've just been distracted with other stones. I have a lot of Arks
