VIKING WHETSTONE PENDANT | SHARPENING NECKLACE

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?

     YEP, GLAD YOU AXED!

• World-famous genuine Arkansas Novaculite (99% pure silica), the rarest and finest abrasive stone in existence.
• Great general-purpose fieldstone for edge maintenance. Medium fineness (600-800 relative grit size).
• Typically, stones in this grade are lily-white in color, however, our manufacturer has been kind in the past to seek out unique colors and patterns especially for us when available. *Sorry, we cannot let people pick colors. Just have to let the stone pick the person.
• Each stone has been carefully chosen, hand-cut, ground, and drilled.
• Custom Color. We call the rich colored and conditioned leather cord, Antiqued Mahogany Brown.
• Unique Knot. The “Napoleon Claw” knot is inspired by Viking/Celtic knot-work and is thought to be an otherwise unknown knot before Bart Colosino brought it to our attention.
• Each whetstone comes with a made-in-the-USA double drawstring muslin bag and each has been hand-stamped with a custom Viking emblem.
• Stone dimensions: 1.9″L x 1″W x .25″H

In a survival scenario, the #1 resource is your mind. The #2 resource 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.

It is often said that a dull knife is a dangerous knife. A sharp knife is a safe knife. Dull=Dangerous. Sharp=Safe.

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 was used for sharpening that had a hole so that a leather strap could be tethered.
