Good places to buy Arkansas stones ???

[dalr753]

hey I was just looking to buy some Arkansas stones for sharpening, but not sure where the best ones are.
some of the web sites like Sharpening Supplies.com and Best Sharpening Stones.com seem to have their own brand.
and I also have heard of Dans Whetstones. does anyone know if one of these guys has good stones? whos the best? any I havent mentioned?

I've read good reviews of Dan's but no personal experience

Dan's sell good quality Arkansas stones. Which are level. Sharpening Supplies sells Norton Arkansas stones. Which are of good quality. DM

I have bought several from Dan's, all grits and sizes, from soft to black hard and translucent. Great experiences and service. Excellent quality stones. One time I had some sort of question to ask so I called their toll free number. The gentleman manning the phone answered my question very pleasantly. I found out that it was Dan himself who answered the phone on a Saturday afternoon. A class act all the way around. I hightly recommend them.

The other companies mentioned above have a good reputation as well, I have some of their stones as well.
