Sharpening A Knife In The Field



Video Clip InformationThis clip was taken from the DVD:
Ray Mears Bushcraft Survival - Series 1 DVD.

The DC4 is a newly developed combination whetstone made for accurate knife sharpening. One side is made of a fine diamond whetstone of 25 micron, while the other is a fine ceramic whetstone, made of synthetic sapphires.

The diamond whetstone side restores the wedge form of the blade's edge, while the ceramic whetstone side smoothes the edge to obtain long-term sharpness. If your knife is very dull you should start by using the diamond side.

They are designed to be used dry, withstand all types of steel and do not become deformed from use. Comes with a leather case embossed with the unique RM logo.

Size 32 x 100mm

Break-in period: Upon delivery, your new DC whetstone will appear very coarse. This coarseness will disappear once the tool is put to use.

After sharpening your knife, Woodlore recommend the use of Camellia Oil to protect the blade from rust and corrosion.

Looking for a smaller whetstone? Take a look at our DC3.

Great for in-the-field use. A bit coarse on the diamond side to begin with but evens out pretty quickly. Unbelievably fast delivery. To Sweden in 2 days!

Ordered 1330 on Thursday, arrived 0900 the next morning!!! Only took 2 minutes to get my Mora from dull to razor sharp, Highly recommend picking up this stone! Small, compact, lovely lovely sheath and will last a life time. To quote Ray :) ' If you don't look after your kit, how can you expect it to look after you '

Easy to work with and it´s practical with the two different surfaces. Gives a very sharp edge.

Brilliant piece of kit, as the leaflet that comes with it says, it's a little rough at first but it soon smoothes out and becomes a joy to use. Sharpens very quickly!

The simple things matter. A very nice cover/case with the RM logo embossed, a great whetstone which was a lot lighter than I expected and the usual great Woodlore service. Why haven't you got one already?

Good quality and portable, perfect to keep on your person when out and about and need to sharpen your knife. Tt feels very rough and coarse when you first take it out of the sleeve, but don't worry as it will soon mellow.

Great tool and perfect size; trues up your knife super fast and super sharp. I don't use nails to hold the stone in place, but rather opt for a non-slip mat/shelf liner. I can place this on almost any surface and hold the stone right in place. It tucks away cleanly into the same pouch along with the DC4 too.

If you really love your knife you should have a DC4 Diamond-Ceramic Whetstone. I bought mine with the Mora Training Knife. Very small and great price all round. Thanks for referring this product.

I was looking for a small stone to carry with me. I found it. Top quality in a leather sleeve.

The only way to sharpen your field knife. Simple and easy to use, weighs very little. Your knife is no good blunt!

Dear Woodlore team, I take this everywhere I go in the field, quality is great and very handy just to slip into the pocket. My advice is dont lend it out around the fire, everyone wants to try it, and it's hard to keep a track of who used it last. Regards John Whitmarsh

I bought this product along with the Mora Training Knife. Quality product, great price and small enough to keep in any pocket - a must to keep your knife sharp and ready for any task.
