Arkansas Oil Stones – Traditional Sharpening with Natural Novaculite

Arkansas oil stones are a time-tested favorite for knife enthusiasts, woodworkers, and outdoorsmen who appreciate the precision of natural Novaculite stone. Known for their ability to deliver a razor-sharp edge with a smooth finish, these stones are typically used with honing oil to reduce friction and carry away metal filings. From coarse Washita stones to ultra-hard Black Arkansas stones, they provide the full sharpening spectrum.

At Knife Country USA, we carry Arkansas stones from trusted makers like Arkansas Sharpeners, Lansky, Smith’s, DMT, and RH Preyda. Whether you need a compact pocket stone or a mounted bench model, Arkansas stones offer reliable performance and lasting value.
