Arkansas Bench Stone
Made in the USA from a natural stone native to Arkansas, our bench stone is the perfect "two-in-one" device for sharpening your knives and other tools. Nested securely in a wooden box with rubber feet for added stability, our bench stone is two-sided: one is a coarser grit to start, and the other a finer surgical black grit for finishing. With both these stones under one roof, you will have your sharpening bases covered, and thus much of the guess work is eliminated.

Taking pride in the care and maintenance of your tools is an integral part of taking pride in your work. Sharp knives are safer, easier to maintain, and reflect well upon their owners. Dull knives are complacent, unenjoyable, and have a tendency to act with minds of their own. So tame your knife by taking the time to acquire the know-how needed to keep it sharp.
