Wanted to post a public thank you to Larry Connelley for the Black Surgical Arkansas tri-hone sharpening system that I won in a monthly drawing by simply registering on his web site http://www.KnifeArt.com
Larry features some great looking custom knives as well as accessories including sharpening stones. I'm looking forward to his planned site expansion to feature cutting edge materials such as Talonite used in todays knives. Ought to be a great place to keep an eye on what new things makers are experimenting with!
His top-of-the-line sharpener is the system he delivered to me today. It features 3 8" bench stones mounted on a triangular piece of wood which nestles nicely in a solid cradle. The cradle also has an oil bottle holder recess.
Of the coarse, medium and fines stones, the standout is the deep rich black fine stone. The information shipped with the product indicates that this grade is quite rare (I'd heard of it before but had never seen it). The system is solid and offers some of the best natural honing stones available in an effective size for hand honing your knives to a razor edge.
Again, thanks Larry! This is an great product that I am sure will give me years of reliable use in helping me maintain my knives!
