Advantages after testing:
Small and light enough to bring with you to the field
No lubrication required
Two levels of grit allow you to deburr on the dark grey side as well as hone and polish on the white side
The leather pouch doubles as a strop
Disadvantages after testing
Not meant to sharpen blades that have become overly dull and would require a lower grit sharpener (e.g. Fallkniven DC4)
How to use your whetstone
If your knife is dull, we advise you to start with a diamond stone. After restoring the edge to its original shape, de-burr the edge lightly with the grey side of the ceramic stone in order to get a razor-sharp edge. The white side of the CC4 is a very smooth ceramic stone, it's mostly used for polishing the edge. Use no oil or water. Start by laying the blade flat on the stone, raise the blade spine approx. the thickness of the blade, and start moving the knife in circular motions.
The ink trick
Color the edge with a felt-tip pen. You can check your progress in sharpening the knife by observing where the color is removed.
How to check the sharpness
To check the sharpness of your knife, pull the edge very lightly on your fingernail. If it cuts, the knife is certainly sharp enough for most tasks.
Leather strop
The back of the leather cover functions as a leather strop. Together with our green honing compound “Chrox” it works well for stropping knife edges.
