Vintage Sharpening Stone 9” long
vintage sharpening stone with a wooden handle, likely used for sharpening knives or tools. It appears to be an oil stone, possibly an Arkansas stone due to its color and texture. Sharpening stones like this were commonly used in the past before modern sharpening methods became widespread. The wooden handle provides a comfortable grip while sharpening. To use, the stone may require oil or water lubrication to help remove metal filings and facilitate the sharpening process. The grit of the stone is unknown, but it appears to be a single grit, making it suitable for either sharpening a dull blade or refining an already sharp edge.
