I'm glad you found the tips helpful! Sharpening knives can really make a difference in the kitchen and in the woods. Can't wait to hear how it goes for you!
The Fallkniven stones are awesome. I enjoyed your "how to" a lot. With the DC4 and the CC4 one covers medium, fine and extra fine grit. Although you don't want to let your knife go so far that you need a coarse stone out in the field...what would you recommed? A coarse diamond stone would work eventually. For me one con would be the different size. Fallknivens 4'' stones seem to be broader than the average 4'' (x 1'') stone.
@BushcraftBeginner Thanks for your answer. I like both stones. What I don't like is that the fine ceramic is doubled. Four sides but only three "grits" (vitrified ceramics are not rated with a specific grit). Fallkniven has a Folding Sharpener (FDD, similar to EZE-LAP or DMT) with coarse and fine (same as DC4) diamond. Surface is only 2cm wide, much smaller than both stones. CC4 and FDD would give you 4 grits, from coarse to extra fine. What a pity they made this small plastic sharpener instead of a double-sided diamond stone the size of both DC4 and CC4. I agree: Taking care of your knives one should not need a coarse grit in the field. I would like to have one, just to be prepared (in omnia paratus).
Ruben is awesome. I changed up my whole knife sharpening system after his class.
So did I! Haha! Knife sharpening was once my least favorite task. After working with Ruben for a while it is definitely more enjoyable.
Thanks for the motivation. Going to sharpen some blades.

Thank you! Ruben is the master! I think he came out of the womb sharpening a knife!
