They are special \u0026amp; unique stones related to flint \u0026amp; have a hardness a little greater than steel files. Due to their\u003cspan\u003e special crystalline structure, not only do Arkansas Stones sharpen but they polish at the same time, leaving a smooth surface on tools. \u003c\/span\u003eThey are fine grit stones \u0026amp; are mainly used for putting a final edge on your tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p3\"\u003eFrom the Manufacturer - Dan's Whetsone Company - About the Arkansas Stones:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e   We source, manufacture \u0026amp; sell a natural Arkansas product.
