Wazoo Viking Whetstone Pendant

Is that a fish hook groove? You bet your bass it is! And it has a rounded edge, a beveled edge, and can still sharpen tools large and small?

In a survival scenario, the first resource is your mind. The second is the tools you have on you. A knife is considered by many as the most fundamental survival tool. To survive, both need to remain sharp. Keeping a knife sharp, especially while out in the field, has been an issue since blades were first carried. Over 1000 years ago, Iron Age Vikings actually had a solution to this problem: Whetstone Pendants. A small piece of stone used for sharpening that had a hole so that a leather strap could be tethered. The Wazoo Whetstone Pendant is the modern day equivelant.
