Dan’s Whetstone Arkansas sharpening stones

Dan’s Whetstone Company · Pearcy, AR

What the maker says
Dan’s Whetstone says it oversees the process from quarry to finished product, cutting natural Arkansas novaculite whetstones from its own Arkansas quarry since 1976, and that it moved its whetstone manufacturing to Pearcy, Arkansas, in 2002. Its site calls them a ‘100% natural Arkansas product made in USA’. Source: Dan’s Whetstone: About
Caveat
The made-in-Arkansas claim covers the natural stones. Its ‘bonded abrasives’ and honing oil are different products, and the site does not say where those are made, so pick a natural Arkansas stone.
Price
Dan’s Whetstone listed pocket stones from $7.10 and bench stones from $29.51 on Oct 22, 2026. Prices change; confirm before you buy.
Why it makes a good gift
A natural sharpening stone cut from Arkansas rock; a good add-on for anyone who got a pocket knife.
