The Viking Spark Necklace

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!

This was one of my brother’s Christmas Wish List items. So I got it for him. He loves it. It’s exactly what he was wanting and is something that he says is the perfect quality and size. He is very pleased with how well it’s made and says he would absolutely recommend it to others looking for the same kind of item.

There's a lot to say about this little piece. I've worn it for over a month so far. The leather is very nice and yes, you can wear it in the shower; I scrub the stone as well and it stays functional. It sharpens nice. Very nice. It would take practice to shave with this stone, but I have some very sharp knives. It's easy to hone them if you really wanted to. I usually do a crude cardboard hone and it's good to slice. I think my stone is closer to 800 than 600. I spend time sharpening my kitchen knives while doing dishes. It's very fun if you're the type to sharpen everything around you. My primary fear was that the stone would get saturated with filings. I've converted sharpener stands into my own pendants, but the grit was too fine. This stone is 600-800 which is perfect for something like this. Also, I've gotten 600 grit before and it was almost like chalk. This stone is nice. It's hard, but stays clean if you use water and wash it regularly. The downside is just nature, sadly. So, when you inevitably drop the stone, the leather rope gives you a random chance to cushion the fall. On the opposite end, and this will happen too, it will land on the thin beveled side. I ground mine to be more serviceable, but it highlights that this is still ultimately fragile, despite the quality. I consider this my new ID tag. It's got my smell on it. I got a regular, plain, boring stone and the unique rust spots and colorizing that happens is unique in it's own right. Even if you don't get a chocolate brownie stone, you're getting something very personal.

Great and sharpened my many knives in minutes. Don't expect a cool looking stone though. Mine and many other reviews says odds are 6 Youll get a plain stone with no markings. Not great but not bad. But also....its like 33 bucks so maybe a little bit of character would be nice. Either way. Does the job.

Erg gave wetsteen. Ik ben er erg blij mee

Been wearing this for several months now. Used it in my YouTube videos. Must have.

Love the look and very handy to have.. I wear this daily as it looks great, as well as very handy to have to hand…

Amazing shipping time came with in 10 days, all the way to Australia from the USA, the leather is nice and strong the stone is nice and sturdy

Ich mag den Naturstein. Er schleift mein Messer und hält die Angelhaken scharf. Gleichzeitig ist er schick und macht sich gut beim Tragen.
