Thread: Arkansas stone help

If you email David at naturalwhetstones dot com - he may be able to make a set of 8" hones that'll suit your budget. There might not be a nice box involved but the extra 2" on the stones will be a HUGE benefit when honing.. esp with the black one.
IF you decide to use water - add a little tinge of dish soap to it.. not enough to make big suds, just a teeny bit. That approximates what you'd get with using oil pretty well.
