For example, I am thinking of picking up something like the DMT Fine Whetstone or even just the DMT Fine Mini-Sharpener for now (the latter being more likely to make it into my bag when I head out the door).

Any thoughts on whether this plan is good, bad, or otherwise?


Having owned both the DMTs and DC4, I would stick with the DC4. The DMTs just don't seem to be as effective at getting a good edge on the harder Stainless Steels. The DMTs are perfectly OK for the softer steels though i.e. Victorinox, Leatherman 420 and 440Cs etc but seem to struggle with the harder stuff like ZDP-189 and Lam.SGPS etc

The DC4 is not to expensive either compared to 2 or 3 grades of DMTs
