Bench Stone Translucent Arkansas 6"

This classic bench stone has the highest available density and as a result is the rarest of all Arkansas stones - with maximum density for particularly demanding users and extremely sharp edges. Approximately corresponds to 8000 to 10,000 grit. The 6" Bench Stone Translucent Arkansas is sized at 152 x 50.8 x 12.7 mm, and is also half an inch thick. Supplied in a practical wooden box.

Please note that “translucent” does not necessarily describes the look of the stone, but is the name of this quality class/category. Oilstones in the translucent category can be even solid white or light grey, with the same high class quality like stones which are in fact slightly translucent.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
