Instead of a stone, carry a 2"x7" thick piece of leather impregnate with a light abrasive.
Touch up multiple times before need a stone.
And yes with a decent knife you should not need a stone in the field unless you are in the field a loooong time
and using you knife very, very often for who knows what.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with your patient search.
