Up for sale/sale is a classic Vintage Norton Abrasives Hard Arkansas Oilstone (Pen Knife Piece), manufactured by Behr-Manning in Troy, New York.
This collectible natural sharpening stone comes in its original decorative "N" geometric patterned slip-top box. Hard Arkansas stones are highly prized by woodworkers, knife collectors, and machinists for bringing razor-sharp, fine-honed edges to pocketknives, small tools, and precision blades.
