Description

A hard‑to‑find Pike “Lily White” Washita sharpening oilstone, complete with its label in the original box, in the desirable 8-inch size and graded soft/coarse—a classic American stone prized for its speed and feel.

The Pike Lily White Washita was long considered the gold standard for fast, responsive oilstone sharpening. This example has the unmistakable pale Washita color and open grain structure that gives these stones their quick‑cutting character. The original label is a major plus, as these were often lost through use, and the original box adds even more collector appeal.

At 8 inches, this is the most practical and sought‑after size, large enough for plane irons and chisels while still easy to handle. The soft/coarse grade makes it ideal for rapid edge shaping, initial bevel work, and bringing tools back quickly before moving to finer stones.

A clean, scarce Pike Lily White Washita with both label and box—an excellent example of one of the most beloved traditional oilstones.
