It's small; I mean really few. This is my first stone from Arkansas, so I like it.. Kinda like a smaller and cheaper stone to try before paying for a bigger one. I have to say I will probably never go back to my synthetic stones, except for regrinding blades which have completely lost their sharpness.. A little Lansky oil, a little know-how and a steady hand and in no time you'll have an edge to be proud of.Very average edge, without much effort.The color has I'm impressed.I will probably buy from Dan again in the future.
