Thanks to everyone for contributing to this list, there are a lot of proucts which keep comming up time and time again, the the DC4 is looking like standard kit, in fact I've started to seen them incorporated into knife sheaths now, the sheaths carry Knife, Firestell and DC4. Every now and then a product comes out that just works doesn't it.

DC4s are the big ones, is that the one you mean or the DC3?

Yes, I just checked the one I saw on RM's site, it holds the DC3.

I don't think it would be difficult to incorporate a DC4 either, do you think that would be better? The DC4 does seem to be more popular.

Not altogether sure as knife sharpening is something I need to hone up on. :lmao: I have a DC3, it's a small, handy size to take out in the field, but I expect the DC4 is better for sharpening although not as portable.
