Gatco 6in Natural Soft Arkansas Stone with Wood Case GAT80060

Imagine the quiet satisfaction of restoring a dull blade to a level of sharpness you can feel—not with a machine or gadget, but with a natural tool pulled straight from the earth. For generations, craftsmen have turned to one trusted material: the rare novaculite rock found only in the mountains of Arkansas. This legendary stone has honed the edges of knives, chisels, and tools for centuries, and now it’s ready to do the same for yours. The Gatco 6" Natural Soft Arkansas Stone brings this enduring tradition to your workbench. More than a sharpening stone, it’s a timeless piece of American heritage—crafted for those who respect their tools and the hands that wield them.

The Gatco Natural Soft Arkansas Stone is designed for the maker, the chef, and the outdoorsman who demand precision and consistency in every edge. Whether you're refining a kitchen knife to glide effortlessly through produce, touching up a chisel for clean woodworking cuts, or maintaining your field knife for reliable performance, this stone delivers results you can see and feel. The Soft Arkansas grade, estimated at 400–600 grit, is ideal for fine-tuning and polishing. Its natural crystalline structure gently removes steel while simultaneously burnishing the blade, producing a razor-sharp, durable edge that lasts through heavy use.

Each 6-inch stone offers a generous working surface, giving you the control and stability needed for consistent results. The stone’s 2-inch width accommodates everything from compact folding knives to large utility or chef’s knives. It’s encased in a custom wooden storage box that protects it from damage, keeps it flat, and adds a touch of craftsmanship to your workspace. This combination of practicality and tradition makes the Gatco 6" Natural Soft Arkansas Stone an indispensable part of any sharpening setup.
