some interesting ideas thrown up there I've tried most and can say for sure that drilling, chiselling and trying to snap along a groove all leave you with more than one piece of stone, but not necessarily straight or regular pieces

angle grinder with a diamond coated blade (for tiles and masonry) works very well but a wet running tile saw is much better The only trouble is that the tile saws only cut to a depth of about 20mm, the stones are about 25mm

ah well there ya go, dont do what i said
was just an idea, all i know is that it works well for bricks

After all that: decided to leave my axe at home this trip and will just be taking a small fine diamond/ceramic combination stone for my knife (was planning on using the waterstone for both axe and knife).

Thanks for all your suggestions (club hammer and all ) and for your kind offer, bigandy!
