Arkansas stones

[Slim7]

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with Norton Arkansas stones?
I've read that the Norton Arkansas stones are man made or bonded
I also seen a YouTube video of a guy saying that Norton bond there Arkansas
stones. I find that hard to believe myself. Who is a reputable company that I can
buy a good quality hard translucent Arkansas stone from?

I own stones from Best (soft)and Dans (hard and black). Both are high quality. While I don't own any Norton arks, every product I do own by them is extremely high quality and high value. Love them arks!

Arkansas stones are a natural stone, Not Bonded, but quarried. Dan's and Norton Arkansas stones are well finished, of high quality and graded accurately. I guess one can read all sorts of misinformation on the computer. DM
