The patented Viking Whetstone Pendant modernizes a traditional Viking tool using world-famous genuine Arkansas Novaculite. It may look like a traditional pendant-style necklace but it can aid in knife or tool sharpening whenever you need it. Designed as a great general-purpose fieldstone for knife-edge maintenance, with a medium fineness (600-800 relative grit size). Each stone is carefully chosen, hand-cut, ground, and drilled. Each Whetstone Pendant is hand-tied using a unique knot that we call the “Napoleon Claw” and inspired by Viking/Celtic knotwork.

**The Uncommon Variation has a lightly speckled front face to the stone as shown in the first image.**

4 DIFFERENT GRIND SHAPES

• Flat Lap - General purpose for Plain Edge Fixed or Folding Blades

In a survival scenario, the #1 resource is your mind. The #2 resource is the tools you have on you. A knife is considered by many as the most fundamental survival tool. To survive, both need to remain sharp. 

It is often said that a dull knife is a dangerous knife. A sharp knife is a safe knife. Dull=Dangerous. Sharp=Safe.

Keeping a knife sharp, especially while out in the field, has been an issue since blades were first carried. Over 1000 years ago, Iron Age Vikings actually had a solution to this problem: Whetstone Pendants. A small piece of stone used for sharpening that had a hole so that a leather strap could be tethered.
