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

The DC4 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 DC4 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 DC4 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.

This Fallkniven DC4 is truly excellent, easily the best that I have used over many years. Great for my Moras and Japanese kitchen knives.

I used one of these on the Fundamental Bushcraft course and it became a trustworthy, reliable friend for my knife. There are many options out there and if the Woodlore team trust this one then it's a go. The Woodlore shop is also surprisingly competitively priced against Amazon and the like. Thank you Woodlore team!

Wanted this for ages. It’s a good size and very nice, especially in the leather pouch. I have put this in my RM leather pouch with a fire starter. I wanted a decent sized sharpener for in the field.

I purchased the DC3 initially and received it very quickly but after seeing it in person I decided I would be better with the larger DC4. I returned the DC3 and the team at Woodlore were rapid in despatching th DC4 which arrived the next day, much to my surprise. The communication was excellent and I must say I felt Woodlore went above and beyond to see that I was a happy customer. That I am and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend buying from them! As for the DC4, I have managed to get a great edge on my Mora woodcarving knife and am soon to try and get my Companion in the same shape. I found it a little rough to start with, as Fallkniven state on the packaging, but it definitely smooths out after use. I'm so glad to finally be getting my knives properly sharp. Great stuff!

Fab Dab, all good. Very impressive knife sharpener, small, compact and only took a few strokes to get my knife super sharp. It's pocket sized, lightweight, and the holder can be used as a leather strop, so very clever. Good price at Ray Mears - delivered quick, good service, happy camper. Thanks a bunch!!

Better size than my Fallkniven DC3 Diamond/Ceramic Whetstone, and the softer back on one side of the case works well as a strop, it's still a perfect pocket size.

Fantastic stone for field sharpening your bushcraft knife. Perhaps a little course on the blade so I wouldn’t use it on an expensive knife but it does the job and gets my Mora Companion back to razor sharp in no time.
