Description

The Fallkniven DC3 and Fallkniven DC4 are a combination diamond/ceramic whetstone that will handle all your sharpening needs. These whetstones consist of a fine diamond stone (25 micron) and a very special ceramic stone, made of synthetic sapphire.

The advantage of these materials is that, over long periods of use, they will keep their flat shape which is important when sharpening your knife. And, since these materials are ultra sharp they will sharpen any steel, even the extremely hard powder steels.

You do not need to lubricate these stones, but now and then you should consider cleaning them with warm water and liquid soap. The stones might feel coarse from the start but will become smoother after some use. A leather pouch is included.

You will receive one stone of your chosen size:

  • Small = DC3 = 7.4 x 2.4cm
  • Large = DC4 = 10 x 3.1cm

    Great little stone

    Posted by Lloydy on 20th Jan 2013

    It's great. Know there have been some quality issues but Fallkniven have a new supplier now and it is genuinely a great little sharpener. Remember, it's less than £15 delivered so whilst you may have to glue it back together down the line it does represent very good value for money. Both sides perfectly flat and easy to use. I have just ordered the all new DC521 off the back of it so if you have been clicking to view this item 3 times a night for the last week just go for it. You won't be disappointed and remember, this is HH you are ordering from. Even if the older reviews turn out to be right for yours they will replace/refund in no time! Enjoy.

    Glad I made the jump!

    Posted by Sharkey on 31st May 2012

    Firstly, amazing service as usual from HH, always outstanding! With regards to the product, after reading some reviews saying that they'd had problems with poorly constructed stones and inadequate grinding surfaces, I was unsure if I should bother buying. However if my product is anything to go by, previous reviews must be based on either a bad batch or Fallkniven have put the boot up the Quality Control team because mine is absolutely spot on. Couldn't be happier. Brilliantly constructed, no lumps or uneven surfaces on the stone, fits nice and snug in a well constructed sheath. Quality! Thanks again!

    Seems like quality improved

    Posted by Dmitrijs on 9th May 2012

    It's been a while since I wanted to get the DC4 version of this product, but I held back by negative reviews. However, lately there was some positive feedback regarding latest batches so I decided to give it a go. I can confirm that the quality is decent, nowhere near as bad as it would seem from the negative reviews. It's not perfect but it's more than good enough to get the job done. I can recommend this product, given it's affordable price. Superb service from HH as usual.

    Super quick Edge

    Posted by Nick on 27th Mar 2012

    Nice pocket stone. Easy and quick to get a razor edge. No oil or water needed so clean to use.

    Not as good as the older models

    Posted by Darren Turner on 6th Feb 2012

    Ok, it's been said more than once that the quality of materials/workmanship isn't as good as older models. My original DC4 is about 10 years old and works amazingly well. I bought a new one about 12 mths ago and i'ts not a patch on old faithful. Using the older models diamond side I gently smoothed out the sapphire side of the new one. Now works well. NB old and new models will separate in my experience, glue back together with arildite (using elastic bands to keep everything flush

    Review

    Posted by Steve on 3rd Feb 2012

    DC4 version I got is good and functional, it came flat on both sides, not brilliantly put together (the gold diamond plate was glued to the ceramic stone at an angle instead of completely square (minor overhang)). DC3 version came with a few bumps on both diamond and ceramic surfaces which dug small chips into the blades edge. 10/10 for Heinnie services.

    new DC4

    Posted by Stefano on 30th Jan 2012

    I bought several DC4 and DC3 and they worked with me in every environment on the field. This last DC4 seems very different from the others. First of all the stone is not smooth ceramic/waved ceramic (DC3) as the previous ones. It's a black stone more spongier, for sure it's not polishing as before. Sounds strange to me, why Fallkniven they are doing like that. I prefer for sure the smooth (sometimes no... but worth to condition flat) sapphire stone againt the diamonds. Excellent service from HH as usual, all over the world.

    Not impressed with product's quality!

    Posted by Francois on 31st Dec 2011

    Since both sides were without any bumps like the "bad batch" from a while back, I was really chuffed... until I actually used it. Why? Because after using it once I ended up with two seperate stones. It's going back ASAP and not for a replacement. In my opinion it's obviously not a batch issue.

    pretty good

    Posted by tom greenland on 12th Dec 2011

    Although the surface was not good to start with, using the stone on a cheaper knife for a while the surface improved greatly. It will never totally replace my oil stone it's a great bit of kit to carry with you when light weight camping.
