Product Information

Being a fine grade( 2 to 3 micron) chromdioxid abrasive makes Smurf Poo a damned good stropping compound, hence its popularity. If you want mental sharp beyond what is possible with Smurf Poo it can be done ,of course, but the likelyhood is that the steel of your blade simply won't be of fine enough make-up to hold that edge beyond you testing it on arm hair.

A number of gold glittered covered dog poop have been found along the sidewalk in the outer-borough. Spray painted poop has also been spotted, and the artist "Gold Poo” is claiming responsibility for these gilded masterpieces.

Naturally, it is impossible to bring with me these kind of stones out there so in that case I normally use a DC4 stone, but personally I don’t like it so much; to small for a good job.

Ultimately, if you are objective, the trip you are planning will easily dictate the tool requirements. Before releasing the project I also wanted to make it more adjustable for people who don't have a CAD tool like Rhino. This suggests the DC4 diamond side is not the most aggressive, but instead it’d be the entire Gränsfors grinding stone first, then DC4 diamond & last its ceramic side.It has a little cover over the BTU, but the main difference is that it's easier for people (or me!) to adjust.

The smaller Fällkniven DC3 is made of the same materials (and comes with a smaller leather slip case). I find it too small for effective day-to-day sharpening for my main belt knife. Of course it could be employed in an emergency. Out of choice, though, I carry the DC4. If, however, I’m carrying only a folding knife then the DC3 is the stone I consider first.
