Thread: Any Arkansas users out there?

This is one thing i know for sure, is that you cant judge and ark by it's color . and you'll never find a translucent graded as a soft ark. Both the translucent and the surgical black are the same specific gravity. i have two translucents and two surgical black's and one multicolored one. this is my opinion an not a fact , that you'll have a better chance of getting a finer surgical black then you will a translucent.( my finest is a translucent tho) for me the surgical black's seem more dense.It is true the translucents are a rarer stone to come by ,so thats why they cost more. Where i get most of my ark info is from Sharpeningsupplies.com and danswhetstones.com they have a novaculite 101 that explains these stone's more indepth.Here are some pic's of my trans , blue and black surgical black and my mutlicolored stone enjoy.
