Fallkniven CC4 Ceramic Whetstone Reviews

5 Rating 3 Reviews

We're happy to present something everyone has been waiting for - a combination ceramic/ceramic whetstone that will handle your finest sharpening needs. The newly-developed CC4 whetstone consists of a super fine ceramic stone (white side) (9 micron) and a ceramic stone, made of synthetic sapphires (dark gray) (15 micron). You don't need any lubrication for these stones but now and then you should consider cleaning them with water and liquid soap. A leather pouch is included.
How to use your DC whetstone:
If your knife is dull, we advise you to start with a diamond stone. After restoring the edge to original shape, de-burr the edge lightly with the ceramic stone in order to get a razor-sharp edge. Use no oil or water. Start by laying the blade flat on the stone, raise the blade spine approx. the thickness of the blade, and start moving the knife in circular motions.The ink trick:Colour the edge with a felt-tip pen. You can check your progress in sharpening the knife by observing where the colour is removed.
How to check the sharpness:To check the sharpness of your knife, pull the edge very lightly on your finger nail. If it cuts, the knife is certainly sharp enough for most tasks.

“Interestingly, this stone arrived in the same HH delivery as a pocket knife that really needed sharpening out of the box, so I tested it within the hour... Interestingly the instructions state to use it dry..... And yes, this works, and you would clean it occasionally. The pouch, which is suggested to use as a strop seems to be made with the finished leather side inside the pouch... the outside being a little softer in touch. I personally wouldn't use the outside to strop, as it would become filthy with stropping compound, and I'd be worried about forgetting my direction, and cutting the pouch in half !! Verdict - Yes, very good used dry on a factory 'blunt' edge..”

“The synthetic sapphire side (grey) feels rather coarse at first but mellows to a usefully aggressive scratch pattern after some use. The sapphire side works very well with my VG10 Fallkniven F2 (which I think of as a 'bird and trout' type knife - it works very well as a boning and filleting knife). The ceramic side (white) works well to refine the scratch pattern, if needed. The ceramic side puts a very keen burr edge on VG10 and cobalt steel. As with all pocket stones it is more suited to sharpening knives intended for everyday general use or for the field preparation of game rather than knives used for wood carving. The ceramic side also works very well to put a keen edge on Hitachi's White Paper steel #1, so is most likely to work well with hard steels in the Fallkniven inventory. The sheath on the latest production has one side reversed (the rear side), so that the rough side of the leather can be used as a strop.”
