Thread: Another Rock To Name

I picked this up in an antique store today. It is extremely hard. It took me over an hour on my DMT to lap it. It looked smooth and felt smooth to begin with, but it had stains that I lapped out.

It's glued in the box and is as smooth as silk.

1 3/4" X 4 3/4"

anyone know what grit range this stone would be in?

its a finisher. Its a natural stone so grit really is not able to be given.

somewhere between 3000 and 12000 depending on piece itself and how you use it and maintain it.

If you decide you dont like it, I'll take it off your hands. I collect Arks. I have a sweet one thats filled with 2 of everything!

I was hoping that it was a Coticule! It took forever to lap out the stains. I paid $20 + tax so I won't whine too much. Magpie let me try it out and I'll let you know.

RIP to your DMT.


That's a tran Arkansas, as already stated.

If you consider the death of your DMT into the price tag, it may not have been worth it.

I'll bet it'll be about the same as a coticule for finishing ability. Ofc, I'm not really a lover of coticules. And my relationship with Arkies is more about patriotism than honing efficiency.

make sure to read up about preping the surface before you go to finish a razor on it. Best edges achieved with proper surface prep!
