50556 Arkansas Sharpening Stone, 4 X 1 In.

The Smith's Arkansas Sharpening Stone is a natural sharpening tool that removes modest amounts of metal while polishing cutting edges simultaneously. This dual-function stone is ideal for maintaining and restoring sharp edges on culinary knives, hunting knives, saws, and other cutting tools. Whether you're a first-time user or an experienced sharpener, this stone delivers reliable results.

The compact 4 x 1 inch stone is mounted on a sturdy plastic base and includes a protective plastic lid to keep the stone safe when not in use. A key advantage of this design is that during sharpening, the plastic lid can be inserted into the bottom of the stone base to extend the height, making the work surface safer and more comfortable. This elevated position keeps your fingers lower on the base, reducing the risk of accidentally contacting the knife blade while pulling or pushing it across the sharpening surface.
