Smith’s 4-Inch Natural Arkansas Sharpening Stone with Cover

Smith’s 4-Inch Natural Arkansas Sharpening Stone (part no. 50556) is quarried from genuine Arkansas novaculite, a naturally fine-grained stone capable of removing modest amounts of metal while polishing the cutting edge at the same time. That dual action is a distinguishing feature of true Arkansas stone: few other sharpener types can shape and finish an edge in the same pass the way natural novaculite does. The 4-inch size makes it a convenient option for pocket knives, hunting knives, and other smaller blades where a full-size bench stone would be more than necessary. It ships with a protective cover, keeping the stone’s surface clean and free of debris between sharpening sessions. Smith’s has quarried and shaped Arkansas stones for generations, and this compact natural stone remains a favorite among traditionalists who prefer it over synthetic alternatives.
