If you mean "västikivi" it is not bad as natural whetstones go, as the hard medium is quartz that sets a limit what can be done.I see they also sell a whetstone but I didn't get that as unsure of the quality.
Being young dumb and full of....
I just bought a plane ticket and went. One time was a three month walkabout
From what I can see the 240 and 200 have practically the same blade. Its only the handle size that offers an advantage of sorts. Do you think if you fitted a chunky lanyard to the 200 you could hold this and it give you the same amount of force generating potential as the 1 & 1/2 handle size of the 240?
Ballsy. Have you posted about that experience here? If so I've missed it. I'm sure others would be interested.
From the above pictures the blades are similar in the length the 200 is lighter blade and with the slightly shorter handle it is close to the 240 but slightly different, just by adding a lanyard I would say no as the blade is lighter and the weight and length of the 240 can not be matched especially with the mass behind it. It would be close but just not quite there.
But it could chop well by itself and you can comfortably grip the end to get the extra length to chop well just like on the bigger brother.
If you want the better chopper go for the bigger knife, but the 200 does do a good job and will chop.
Same here.My 240 was bought several years ago. At that time they did not do the sharpened spine.
I know why they did it and it does work, the bevelled edge just means theres not as much of a edge to dig in.They say the spine is ground the way it is to expose the harder inner steel.
I found just by changing the angle of the knife slightly it throws sparks as well as any other knife

Its much harder work to scrape up shavings n the like with, just takes a bit more effort. It does throw sparks nicely and you can easily scrape up shavings to ignite with them, it'd just be more efficient if it was a good 90° itd be a harder, sharper edge.
But like i said, its not necessarily a bad thing that it is slightly rounded off n you can always use the blade too to make life easier. The blades are a doddle to touch up and get sharp again anyway.
I was just hoping to have a better working edge (spine), that could save the blade some unnecessary rough work.

my 240 has a sharpened spine, had it a coup!e of years at least.Am I the only one who got their 240 with a sharpened spine?
I've got the 140 too and the spines are the same
