Wazoo Pendants are wearable, everyday tools designed to maximize your capability - from sharpening, to fire-starting, to both.

With the ferro rod braced securely in one hand and the ceramic pinched firmly in the other, scrape the edge of the ceramic down the length of the ferro rod to shower sparks onto your tinder.

The whetstone (Viking Spark, Viking Whetstone) is Arkansas novaculite, one of the most renowned sharpening stones in the world. The ceramic (Viking Spark, Spark Necklace, Bushcraft Necklace) is zirconia, one of the hardest man-made materials in existence. The toggle (Viking Spark, Spark Necklace, Bushcraft Necklace) is ferrocerium, an impressive compound that our ancestors likely would have killed for. All the pendants are brought together by a genuine cowhide leather cord, making a necklace that, like you, only gets better with age.

Absolutely! Rain, snow, swimming, even showering is fair game. Wear it like any other waterproof necklace but give our fire-starting pendants a quick rinse after sweating or exposure to salt water to protect the ferro rod from corrosion.

Either. It will naturally absorb oils from your skin but you can also use water to build up a slurry that further aids in the sharpening process.

As of this writing, there are no TSA restrictions against flying with any of our necklaces. Keep in mind, however, that it is always up to the TSA agent on duty that day. We recommend checking current TSA regulations before flying.

Actually, the best thing to do is wear it - it will absorb natural oils from your skin and keep it well conditioned.  If it does start to dry out at any point, simply give it a coat of your favorite leather conditioner.
