What grade of Arkansas whetstones do you recommend for sheath pouches (field sharpening)? Thanks.
 
In the olden days before diamond hones (and color TV) they were usually chunks of coarse carborundum that we Boy Scouts used to sharpen our jackknives and hatchets (badly, usually). Can't say I ever saw an Arkansas stone in a sheath pocket (maybe Randall did but that was not within my price horizen). DMT Diafolds work great for field sharpening.

Randall uses a Norton Fine India. That's what came in my Model 14 sheath in the late 1990s.
