The Fallkniven DC3 Diamond Ceramic Whetstone is a popular combination whetstone made for accurate knife sharpening in the field. Small and lightweight, the DC3 is ideal for keeping on you when travelling by foot. For a larger whetstone, take a look at the Fallkniven DC4 or Fallkniven DC521.

The DC3 features two different sharpening surfaces; one is a fine diamond whetstone of 25 micron, while the other is a fine ceramic whetstone, made of synthetic sapphires. If your knife is dull, it is recommended that you begin by using the diamond side, which will restore the wedge shape of the blade's edge. Following this, you can de-burr the edge lightly using the ceramic side, in order to get a razor-sharp edge.

The DC3 is a very low-maintenance tool in the sense that it can be used dry, without the need for any lubrication from oil or water. Every now and then, it is recommended that you simply clean the stone in warm, soapy water.

A major benefit of the DC3 is that, while the stone will become worn over time, the sharpening surfaces will remain flat, helping to aid efficient sharpening. The supremely strong surfaces can be used to sharpen any type of steel, including hard powder steels. At first, the sharpening surfaces may feel overly coarse, but this initial roughness will diminish after use.

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

Nice whetstone, but in contrast to what is mentioned on the website, it does not fit in to the leather sheath.

Woodlore's Reply - 21st May, 2018
Good morning, thank you for your review. The fit to the leather sheath that the DC3 is supplied with is quite tight to start. Once the leather gives a little and the sharpener has been used a few times it will become easier to put in and take out of the supplied sheath.

I have a couple of these, principally as field use items for maintaining an edge away from home where I use water stones. A good pouch, and small size makes these perfect for this use, 'though it should be noted the diamond side is quite capable of removing metal quite quickly, my personal preference is to use the ceramic side (with water if available) to just keep the edge in top condition.

Brilliant, easy to use, perfect for smaller pocket blades and very quick to sharpen with. Love the fact it sits in my pocket so unnoticeably! I can bring it with me anywhere.

I ordered the DC3 to go with my new bushcraft knife as I had watched reviews of it online. The item is smaller than it looks online but that has actually turned out to be an advantage, as it is easier to store when carrying a lot of kit. I have used it once after my knife got a lot of punishment carving a spoon. The DC3 removed the burrs from my blade and had it sharp in less than 2 minutes. It arrived in no time at all and was packaged in a really smart Ray Mears leather sheath. Will definitely be using the site again. 5 stars.

Good little pocket whetstone, perfect for on-the-move sharpening. Takes a bit of working out major blade nicks, but for standard re-honing it's perfect.

Small, but effective. My first combined whetstone so it would be nice if the packaging mentioned which side is which.
