Great product and service!

I absolutely love it! The team at Ragweed Forge was great, in the order notes I asked for a colorful one and it definitely was. The note with the order was also a nice touch. Thank you for everything.

Excellent Stone!

Gorgeous stone pendant that is also functional! Buttery smooth finish and all the edges are beveled - so no pointy sharp spots against your skin while you wear it.

A sleek and stylish little chunk of jasper that looks awesome around your neck but is also a useful tool to keep your fine edges razor sharp.

Perfect size for my large mits to get a grip on while finishing up an edge. Big enough to function comfortably but doesn't feel like wearing a brick around your neck.

If you're on the fence, buy it. The quality is top notch.

Excellent Form and Function

The stone that I requested and received contained a rainbow of colors which makes it very attractive. Like an older, plainer stone I already owned, it put a super sharp final edge on a blade. A bonus that I noticed on this new model is that the edges have been turned back, making it even more comfortable to wear around the neck on a lanyard. Great job incorporating user feedback of making an excellent product even better!

Great and beautiful solid gifts

Beautiful and useful jasper sharping stones. Great gifts that will last a few lifetimes.

Description


In Viking times small whetstones were often worn as pendants. These are reproductions of whetstone pendants found in Viking Age York. Similar pendants have been found in Kalåstad, Norway, Birka, and Gotland. They are cut from Jasper, and seem about midway between hard white and hard black Arkansas stones in action. That means they are very fine, and suitable for the honing a final edge rather than basic sharpening. They vary a little in size and shape, but most are about 3 1/4" long, just under an inch wide at the base, and 1/4" in thickness. Colors are mostly grays, browns and the occasional green. If you have a preference let me know and I'll do my best. Each comes with a string and descriptive packaging. I use them dry, and clean off the clogging residue as often as necessary with water. Imported from Sweden,
