    Default Arkansas Stone

    Up for sale is an Arkansas stone. I picked this up a while back but have never used it myself since I use water stones for sharpening. I'd like $45 for it.

    I didn't think Arkansas stone got a grit rating, its either soft, hard, black or translucent. My guess is a white one would most probably be Hard?

    Thanks. My query should have asked that not grit.
    Soft or hard. Soft being apparently 600-800, hard 800 - 1200 -ish. Colour is variable as it is a natural stone, but should be graded.
    So is it soft or hard. Also dimensions please.

    Ok I measured the stone and it is 150mm x 50mm. I searched all over the box and stone but could find no indication of how hard/coarse the stone is. I picked this up a while back from a deceased estate and haven't used it so I don't really know how to find that out. Is there another way to tell?

    Please let me know postage to 2318.
