“Say It Ain’t So!” A collection of misconceptions that we can dispel at Dan’s Whetstone, include:
Dan’s Whetstone Company, Inc. owns and controls several quarries that will supply us with 100% natural novaculite rock for the next four generations or longer according to current reserve projections.
Dan’s Whetstone Company is a family owned business that has been producing natural Arkansas novaculite whetstones since 1976. Our intentions are to continue the production for generations to come.
Dan’s Whetstone Company was founded based on the production of the black Arkansas novaculite and has continually produced this classification of stone since 1976.
There are some black Arkansas stones being produced by other companies that are not genuine novaculite.
The variations of colors can be found within the different grades of stone. Color alone does not determine the grade or classification of the stone.
To the best of our knowledge in all known applications the color in our stones do not impede the honing process.
Dan’s Whetstone Company has always maintained a selection of large and specially sized stones for its customers. If you do not see a stone size that you need in our shopping cart please contact us for availability.
