These charcoal colored mirror like stones are made from vermont slate, just about the best variety. Fine grained homogenous metamorphic rocks composed of clay or volcanic ash and quartz, we hand cut and knap each piece into workable fine honing stones. These slate stones put a fine edge on knives and tools. Some modern more wear resistant steels may take longer when using this stone.
Although vermont slate is a hard stone it is not recommend to put heavy or excessive pressure on this stone as it can fracture or break. Gentle light passes are all thats need to touch up a slightly dull edge or to finish off knives and tools.
