find your perfect grind

Not matter your preferred blade or hook, there's a grind on this stone to hone everyones' favorite tool.

Choose from a Rounded Edge, Beveled Edge, Hook Groove, or Flat Lap to sharpen everything from seatbelt and fingernail cutters to small serrations and spearpoints.

This whetstone sharpener can do it all.

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 things in small packages

I’ve honed 3 EDC knives so far with excellent results. Easy to generate a hit spark for a fire. Bought one for my son for his birthday. Pleased to say the least.

Looks great and performs well.

Really happy I pulled the trigger on this. I ordered the rare stone color and was not disappointed with it. I have used the spark feature to get fires going and the whetstone to touch up a knife edge while out in the field. Solid leather laces and a sturdy clasp mechanism. Would definitely recommend to any outdoorsman.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Viking Spark™?

A stylish, wearable accessory that combines the capabilities of our fire-starting and tool-sharpening necklaces into one streamlined pendant.

How do I use the Viking Spark™ to start a fire?

Slide the ferro rod down the leather cord and deploy the ceramic from behind the whetstone. 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.

What materials are used to make the Viking Spark™?

The stone itself is Arkansas Novaculte, one of the most renowned sharpening stones in the world. The ceramic is Zirconia, one of the hardest man-made materials in existence. The toggle is ferrocerium, an impressive compound that our ancestors likely would have killed for. And it’s all brought together by a genuine cowhide leather cord, making a necklace that, like you, only gets better with age.

Can the Viking Spark™ be worn during physical activities or in wet conditions?

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

Do I use water or oil while using the whetstone?

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.

Can I travel with the Viking Spark™?

As of this writing, there are no TSA restrictions against flying with a Viking Spark™. 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.

How can I keep the leather soft?

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.
