Fallkniven DC3 / DC4 Whetstones

Brilliant stones that can touch up knives quick and give razor sharpness. I carry mine with spyderco a double stuff and I've never needed more. The dc4 gets it sharp quick. The spyderco refines the edge more slowly. But makes it last for ages. In summary Get 1

No need to have fancy machinery or fixed angles for sharpening... Add a strop with some compound and you can get a razor sharp edge everytime. Great with 600 grit and 2000 grit dual stone to sharpen all your knives either at the field or at home. Quick tutorial: With most edges (except convex) 1st- start off with the diamond side until the edge seems polished and aligned. It can now cut papper pretty well. 2nd-change to the ceramic side and do the same. It can now cut pretty smothly. 3rd-pass it on the strop with some fine/very fine compound (or both). You now can cut your beard. Convex edges can be mantained with a strop. Use te stone for nicks. Check youtube for correct technique.

I've just received my DC4 and to help bed it in I took our kitchen knives through a quick sharpen. Initially the stone is very rough, but this quickly beds in after running a few blades over it. My stone had no real high or low spots. For me its a great little product to supplement my Lansky system. Heinnie provided and excellent service, ordered and delivered in less than 24 hours!

Have a couple of Fallkniven stones including the dc521. The dc3 is in my edc and I've hardly used it but The gold diamond side is almost worn off. And I'm down to bare metal.. I suspect a bad batch as I haven't had the problem on the larger. It should be great... But execution on this occasions leaves a little to be desired!

Got 1 years ago. It is now totally smooth, got newer, rougher stone 2 years ago. It's starting to get smooth so may order a third stone. 3 different grits. Both of these split from diamond surface but I glued them back. They are great for the task

Forgot to rate this item.

Bought one of these years ago and its perfect. new one however is not as good in that the ceramic side is more like a coarse sharpening stone instead of the smooth polishing ceramic of old

DC3 is a great stone, I've had one before and this was as expected. However, the delivery service was well beyond what I expected, I was thinking of paying for a faster delivery. But ordered at 23.30 on a Tuesday and was delivered at 9.30 Saturday morning! First time of using HH, well impressed, will certainly be using again.

I had one of these before and lost it!! My replacement came in record time and is a great item to anyone's kit. Already been used ... just need a plaster now!!
