Thread: Arkansas stones wonderful gems.

I do have to clearly state that even the two peice of soft arakansas was
well worth buying.
But the question is have i gone crazy buying stuffs.
Like any nice stone i would never pass on the chance to
buy it bewteen 1-30 bucks.
And not all of my arkansas stones would fit on
that table. lol.

Wow - nice collection!

Stones are one thing I never regret buying... .

I would so be so thread jacking if I posted photos of my arky's. Lol. So I will just comment that those are nice stones.
I love arky's. Can you get some close ups and tell us more about the different stones. Come on, we need more hone porn...

I see some vintage labeled washita's. Close ups of those would be cool if possible.

Hell yes you're crazy .... that is why you are here .... where the inmates are running the asylum !

I like the one on the bottom right

I like the one on the bottom right too.
That's a nice size of really fine clear arkansas stone.
I got that by offering 14 bucks.
It's the only one i ever used on a razor.
i did get a good shave from the edge.
a few i did use on knives.
Any stone i make a choce in my head that's for razors not going
to sharpen a knife or axe or tool on it.

More Photos with close ups.
Though i should do a close
up. one i bought not to long ago.

tell me more about the little yellow one, 2nd photo... is it translucent? Hard? Medium? Feel similiar to the translucent?


I like the color of it...

That is a nice grit to finish on.
I heard that color is a little more rare.

I added a photo of my finesh one.
