"Always keep your tools sharp, so you never have to sharpen them."

If you consistently maintain the edge on your blades, like a pocket knife, then you can usually avoid the aggressive material-removing sharpening process. That's why we created (or stole from the Vikngs) the idea of a portable sharpener. However, we took it a few steps further and made it a cool-looking conversation starter!

The patented Viking Whetstone Pendant modernizes a traditional Viking tool for sharpening and honing blades and tools. Unlike other whetstones, this pendant-style necklace features 4 different grinds, giving you the power to sharpen all your EDC tools, whenever they need it. Each stone is hand-picked, so no two stones are exactly the same. Style it how you want and make it as unique as you are.

MADE FROM ONLY THE BEST NOVACULITE

Not all whetstones are created equal. That's why we've gone direct to the source and quarried world-famous genuine Arkansas Novaculite for all of our pendants. Arkansas Novaculite has a medium fineness (600-800 relative grit size), making it a great general-purpose fieldstone for knife-edge maintenance. Unsure of that last sentence? All that means is that it will work great when honing all of your everyday blades.

LENGTH

  • Max Length: 28" inches

The history & evolution of a whetstone pendant

Keeping knives and tools sharp while out in the field has been an issue ever since blades were first carried. The solution to this problem dates back over 1000 years, to when Iron Age Vikings introduced a compact sharpening stone that could be tied to the body and taken into the field. This ancient but tried and true tool has become our modern-day whetstone.

Good Quality

The stone is good to hone blades as well as sharpening them. The different angles of edges help out.

simple and effective

what can you say about a whetstone... you don't realize how usefull having one is until you actually need it, then you realize how glad you are to have it. I won't give it 5 star because it's literally a rock on a string I wear around my neck,but it's better than some "fidget toy" some folks carry, and it helps keep an edge on my blade... that's good enough. Put one around your own neck and you'll get it.

Nice bit of art

Nice bit of male jewellery. I wear mine every day and have polished the edge of my bushcraft knife up to a mirror finish. There is no wear showing on the stone and no patina as of yet so looks like it will provide along time of service as a sharpener as well as looking nice. My viking blood enjoys this
