Wazoo Viking Whetstone Pendant | Knife Sharpener Necklace | Arkansas Novaculite on Leather Cord | Norse Inspired Knotwork

Overall:- Perfect EDC size and form-factor- Engineered and manufactured to precise tolerances. Beautifully designed.- The Arkansas Novaculite is an amazing material, unlike anything I've really used before. Very consistent and durable.- Dare I say heirloom quality. I may not be Viking, but I might be buried with this LOL.I just received this last night as a birthday gift and I absolutely love it! Being a knife enthusiast (and starting collector) I have spent a considerable amount of time purchasing, researching and practicing with various knife steels, sharpening methods and materials and actuating/locking mechanisms. It has been a fascinating journey and I've really come to appreciate exceptional design, superior engineering and old-school methodologies.One of my more Zen-like hobbies is hand sharpening using whetstones and leather strops. And while I do indeed have several “travel” or portable sharpening tools, none of them are with me every hour of every day. Until now, that is! The Viking Whetstone Pendant is unbelievably convenient and exceptionally high quality. The leather strap/necklace is thin, strong and incredibly soft. While it was a bit long for me, I simply added 3 or 4 snake knots at the top of the pendant and it fits perfect (see photo.)I highly recommend this as a unique, high quality gift you can give someone interested in EDC, prepping or just a knife enthusiast. Well done Wazoo!

Saw this baby on Fowler's Makery and Mischief Youtube episodes and was sold. I recommend watching Wazoo's instructionals on how to properly keep and use it, yeah, it is rather naturally intuitive but wisdom is the better part and all that, so take the time to do it.It is quality, lovely and lightweight--an awesome modernization of a past bit of kit for every day wear or for stashing in your bag for adventures. Given the low cost, I recommend getting more than one--that way you can have one for both areas. I put in for the 'pattern' stone and I got a really good looking spotted stone that has light grey, dark grey and purple--colors are even better when you use water on it. Very happy. The stone is definitely quality and easy to use, love all the different parts that let you sharpen all sorts of blade shapes (and hooks). This is a very well thought out tool.I very carefully used some Snowseal on the leather cord (with looks really good with the knots and is easy to shorten by moving the top two) and will wear it regularly. I'm keeping it a water only stone for ease of availability.Will be back to buy more--for my various kits and for family.Thanks, Fowler and Wazoo!

Wore it to the end of its life, a well made product and a awesome wetstone

I am a huge fan of knives. I have quite a few of them (ok maybe a bit more then a few...like a lot) this is such a handy thing to have. I sat outside in the sunshine and just went to town on my favorites of favorites. My two favorite knife steels are: S30V ( S30V is a very high end stainless steel. Some would call it a “super steel🦸‍♂️“ it holds a wonderful edge, is very rust resistant and it can take an extreme amount of abuse, it’s also a chore to sharpen. I put the best edge I have ever put on my Benchmade Griptlion with just this stone. My next favorite steel is CPM-M4. It holds a better edge then S30V, it’s a lot stronger as well (S30V can chip... if you have abused it enough) M4 is not a stainless steel it is a high end high carbon steel so it can and will corrode🤷‍♂️ This also put a great edge on two of my M4 blades. It did take a long time to get there but it was absolutely worth the effort. Next I went to work on my very abused Cold Steel SRK 6” fixed blade made out of SK-5 a Japanese high carbon steel comparison to 1055 high carbon steel. Anything in the 10xx high carbon steel is very common for knives but it will rust most of them all. It will rust very fast in fact. It’s very important that the blade is completely free of rust or any other “gunk” all Arkansas stones are very porous and those particles will clog your sharper stone. I use a good ceramic for this. I also strop on glass (it’s an old jewelers technique)I highly recommended this product to everyone who needs to keep the knives ready.I wear this every single day, all day. the oil from your skin and any water source should work just fine.

This thing is pretty cool. Not sure on the functionality just yet but the quality and craftsmanship alone is worth the purchase. The leather lanyard is excellent quality and the whetstone is small and nearly weightless and I’m sure it works as described. I only wish my stone wasn’t all white. I know that no two stones are alike but I was really hoping for one with some markings on it. Pretty disappointed about that. I won’t be wearing it for that reason alone. I’ll keep it in my emergency bag I guess.

Everything about it screams quality. I highly recommend it.
