303M Pocket Stone Medium
"Spyderco’s medium-grit (brown) ceramic pocket stone is compact, lightweight, and ideal for touching up edges in the field. It comes with a protective suede carry case that doubles as a non-slip base during use. The perfect addition to a pack, survival kit, or bug-out bag, it only adds a few ounces of weight to your load and it is easily cleaned with household cleanser, a scouring pad, and water.
Made in USA"[1]
303F Pocket Stone Fine

It comes with a protective suede carry case that doubles as a non-slip base during use. The perfect addition to a pack, survival kit, or bug-out bag, it only adds a few ounces of weight to your load and it is easily cleaned with household cleanser, a scouring pad, and water.

303MF Double Stuff
"Spyderco’s Double Stuff pocket stone is double sided, offering a medium-grit (brown) stone on one side and a fine-grit (white) stone on the other. Permanently joined by industrial adhesive, these stones create a versatile, compact sharpening tool that is ideal for touching up edges in the field. It comes with a protective suede carry case that doubles as a non-slip base during use and is easily cleaned with household cleanser, a scouring pad, and water.

303FCBN2 Double Stuff™ 2 CBN/Fine with Pouch
"Spyderco’s Double Stuff two-sided pocket stone has long been the sharpening tool of choice for fishermen, outdoorsmen, and other knife users who needed a handy, versatile sharpener for touch-ups in the field.
The Double Stuff 2 takes this time-tested concept and does it one better by combining an aggressive Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) abrasive on one side with a fine ceramic stone on the other. This allows the quick, efficient sharpening of dull or chipped edges as well as the easy maintenance of well-sharpened edges in the field. To make the Double Stuff 2 even better, one long edge of each stone offers a radiused surface for sharpening serrations and the fine stone includes a longitudinal groove for fish hooks and pointed tools. Ideal for pocket, pack, or tackle box, the Double Stuff 2 comes complete with a handsome suede pouch.
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) is Made in China - Fine Ceramic Stone is Made in USA"[4]
