For people who prefer to sharpen with natural Arkansas Stones, GATCO offers a variety of stones, kits and sharpening systems. Natural Arkansas stones are fine grit stones that are known to prolong the life of your blade because they don't remove large amounts of metal from your blade. Arkansas stones will even polish the edge of the blade as you sharpen.

Diamond is the hardest known natural material known to man. Diamonds are specifically renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities that make excellent abrasives. The atomic connectivity of the carbon atoms gives the diamond its hardness. Diamonds are so strong they can only be scratched by other diamonds. GATCO diamond sharpeners can be used to rapidly and precisely sharpen kitchen, sport and utility cutlery, carbide tools, scissors and other edge-cutting instruments.
