Made from true Black Hard Arkansas stone, this hone stands at the pinnacle of natural sharpening stones. It's not just about getting your edge back—it's about refining it to a razor-sharp polish that holds up under hard use.
Designed for use with Lansky’s precision sharpening systems, this hone integrates seamlessly into your existing kit. Whether you’re working on a pocketknife, a hunting blade, or a kitchen workhorse, it delivers ultra-fine sharpening that smooths out microscopic imperfections and leaves a clean, polished edge. While coarser hones grind and shape, the Black Hard Arkansas hone finishes the job with a fine touch that only nature can provide.
The real strength of Arkansas stone lies in its ability to sharpen and polish at the same time. Unlike synthetic abrasives, this natural material offers controlled abrasion that removes less metal, making it ideal for maintaining high-quality blades that you want to last for years. It's especially valuable for carbon or high-carbon stainless steels where a polished edge improves performance and resists corrosion.
This hone isn’t flashy. There are no gimmicks or shortcuts—just a dense, durable stone that’s been trusted for generations. It’s rugged, reliable, and American-made, ready to deliver the kind of edge that serious knife users demand. Whether you’re finishing a custom blade or keeping your daily carry in top condition, the Lansky Black Hard Arkansas Hone earns its place in your sharpening arsenal. Order it today from SMKW!
