Norton 61463686830 Arkansas Knife Sharpening Stone

Product Description

The NORTON 61463686830 is an ultra fine grade Arkansas sharpening stone ground to a knife profile for precision edge work on bladed tools and cutlery. At 1/8 inch thick, this slender stone is sized for tight bevel angles and detailed honing tasks that standard bench stones cannot reach. Arkansas stone is a naturally occurring novaculite prized for its consistent grain structure and ability to produce a refined, polished edge. This stone is used by tradespeople, culinary professionals, and craftsmen who require a finishing-stage abrasive rather than a material-removal tool. It weighs approximately 0.05 pounds, making it easy to handle during freehand sharpening.

The knife-profile shape makes this stone well suited for honing pocket knives, filet knives, chisels with narrow bevels, and similar tools where a thin, elongated contact surface is needed. It is appropriate for both shop and field use. The ultra fine grade means it is best applied after coarser stones have already established the edge geometry, serving as the final honing or polishing pass to refine the cutting edge to a sharp, clean finish.

Installation Notes

Arkansas stones are typically used with a light honing oil applied to the surface to float swarf and prevent the pores from loading during use. Maintain a consistent bevel angle throughout the sharpening stroke to achieve an even edge. Clean the stone after each use with oil and a clean cloth to preserve surface performance. No power tools or specialized equipment are required.
