Reed Maker's Knife Sharpening Kit with Natural 'Arkansas Wonder' Stones

from $79.00

Reed Making Knife Sharpening Stone Kit with Natural ‘Arkansas Wonder’ Stones. Works for knives, blades, and tools. This kit is assembled by Cullen Blain for its ease of use and lasting professional quality. The kit includes 2x Lansky natural ‘Arkansas Wonder’ bench stones (a soft stone for general sharpening and a hard stone for finishing), Nathan’s Natural honing oil, and a FlexCut strop with polish compound for final adjustment.

Upgrade your kit with a Vitry Frères Paris style double hollow ground reed knife with olive wood handle by Rigotti France.

Note from Cullen: These are natural stones from rock formations known as novaculite whetstones in the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas. For thousands of years people have been making tools from these natural deposits and in modern times we mainly use these stones for sharpening knives and tools- you will find these stones in any serious woodworker or machinists shop.

Using Natural Sharpening Stones: Arkansas wonder stones can be used with either water or honing oil to suit your knife’s maintenance needs and have very low maintenance needs. I prefer these sharpening stones and using a strop as this will create the best edge on a razor-style (double hollow ground) reed knife. They can also be used for all sharpening and honing needs around the house.
