Built with solid construction and backed by a 25-year warranty, this fine grit stone offers professional-grade sharpening performance for both kitchen knives and precision tools. ## Description From the manufacturer The DMT Difference Diamond Uniformity, Coverage, Surface Flatness DMT uses micronised monocrystalline diamonds, precisely sized for a more uniform diamond surface. No other diamond sharpeners offers micronised monocrystalline diamond and most offer the lesser grade poly-crystalline diamond. Mono-crystalline is like an ice cube made up of one particle holding its form while poly-crystalline is like a snow-cone made up of many small particles that get sheared off during use. Coverage: DMT’s process assures the most diamonds per square inch in the industry providing a more durable sharpening surface. Surface Flatness: DMT bench stones are engineered flat, assuring even contact with the knife or tool. Choice of Diamond Surfaces Interrupted or polka dot surface for which DMT is famous has slightly recessed holes that will collect metal fines (swarf) removed during sharpening to prevent loading. Fast sharpening action; not recommended for pointed or very small tools. Continuous surface presents a more conventional looking sharpening surface. Fast sharpening action; able to use on small surface edges. HardCoat, DMT’s newest proprietary surface, is able to withstand the rigours of ceramic sharpening, providing an even longer service life to the sharpener. DMT Commitment DMT is committed to providing the best diamond sharpeners in the marketplace. If the sharpener is found to be defective, we will replace it.

All are continuous diamond surface but one 12-inch model is offered in DMT’s HardCoat diamond surface, specifically designed to withstand the rigours of ceramic knife sharpening. For those who wish to sharpen with ceramic, DMT offers a 12-inch ceramic steel sharpener. Bench / Counter Stones DMT offers a nice selection of diamond bench stones from 6- to 12-inch lengths of varying widths to accommodate home, sport and tactical knives along with a mixture of DIY and woodworking tools. Models include interrupted, continuous and one DuoSharp model in HardCoat diamond. Models include Diamond Whetstone, DuoSharp and Dia-Sharp bench stones. Guided Sharpeners If you are unsure about sharpening, try one of DMT’s sharpening systems to assist with proper sharpening angles. All systems revolve around the 7-angle adjustable blade guide utilising either 4-inch diamond whetstones in the Aligner models or Double Sided Diafold Sharpeners in the MagnaGuide line. The blade guide can also be used with DMT’s bench stones. About Sharpening with DMT Care and Use of DMT Diamond Sharpeners All models are designed to be used dry or with water so there are no messy oils and extensive clean up to worry about. Always clean the DMT sharpening surface after sharpening. Rinse surface with water and wipe dry. After several sharpenings, clean more thoroughly with a mild abrasive and brush; rinse surface with water and wipe dry. Always put away dry and store in a dry environment. Use leafing (paper towels, cloth, plastic storage bag) in between your bench stones to prevent abrasive sides from rubbing. Use Dry or with Water Clean and Wipe Dry Store Dry Get the Most out of your DMT Sharpener There is a ‘break-in’ period for your diamond stone. Initially, it will feel especially rough but will smooth over time without impacting performance. Let the diamonds do the work; just light strokes with the edge to sharpen, same number of strokes each side. Approximately 5 or 6 strokes per side (depending upon condition of edge) compared to 30 strokes per side on a conventional stone, saving time and extending the life of the knife or tool. Start with a coarser grit for damaged or dull edges and work to finer grits. The work the edge is to do will help you determine the grit needed: Rough work, end with coarse grit (cutting cardboard); finer work, work through finer grits (food preparation). Initial break-in Light strokes to sharpen – let the diamond do the work Faster than conventional sharpening methods Rough work – coarser grit Fine work – finer grit Review: Exceptional - Just pretty much reprofiled an old kitchen knife with a 600 grit fine stone!! These stones are very very effective. Normally you'd need a 120 or 240. Ive been hand sharpening for a couple of years now with wetstones so am pretty experienced. This stone is exceptional and ideal for beginners. A 600 grit stone is normally a third stone before a 1000 and then 4000/6000 polish. However this 600 is way more effective than a 600 grit wetstone so the results are immediate and significant. All I can say is that they work a lot quicker than wetstones so take it easy with new or already sharp knives. Burr creation is profound so very easy to tell when youve apexed. Even old difficult to sharpen knives wont last two minutes with this thing, so glad I found it. I follow a guy on youtube who taught me how to sharpen, look him up. His youtube profile is OUTDOORS55. His name is Alex. He got me into DMT stones and gives great tutorials on every day sharpening using cost effective stones. No need for Japanese chosera stones at £200, get one of these american imports, sharpen from a fine stone and then strop to shaving sharpness! Review: Five Stars - Very good top quality.

So, from 250 grit coarse to 400, then to 800, then to 1200, then to 2000, then to 4,000, then to 8,000. The last three grits are mainly for polishing. If you skip a grit, it is like skipping a grit in sanding a wood project, in that you have to spend a lot more time with the higher grit, then if you had used a medium grit. So I would say no, do not go from 1200 grit to 4000. Instead, go from 1200 to 2,000. DMT makes a 2,000 grit diamond stone by the way. **Q: Many of the reviews are terrible, especially the recent ones. i am skeptical of buying this item. has dmt worked out the issues?** A: I just left the DMT corporate headquarters 2 hours ago. I went over there to buy an Extra Course bench stone direct from them. It was more expensive than these are on Amazon and I made point to mention it to them. They said they do not sell any of their products for less than their distributors and said that any deeply discounted stones may be suspect. If they don't have the DMT Logo on them they may be knock offs. They will knock off anything in China these days. I bought some sneakers which looked EXACTLY like the real things except the inner soles were different and they were made in colors not available by And1. Obviously knock offs. Take that for what it is worth. I have had 3 of the 11x2.5" bench stones for more than 20 years. I bought them from Highland Hardware, now Highland Woodworking, of Atlanta, Georgia. I also have another 1/2 dozen smaller 6x1" hand stones for portable knife sharpening, ranging from Extra Coarse up through Extra Extra Fine, with some duplication. I have not had any issues with any of them. DMT told me that they will replace any defective stones. The secret to using these effectively is to not strong arm them. They pointed out to me just today that it only takes light pressure to make them work well. These diamond stones do have to be cleaned of the swarf after use. I use Comet or similar cleaner with a Scotchbrite sponge. This is how you clean Alumina or ceramic Crock Sticks as well. I always dry the stones with paper towels and then let them air dry before I put them away. These stones do require break in. When they are new they may leave larger scratches in the blade than after they are broken in. You will also notice that they make more noise before they are broken in. You may notice the difference more in the finer grits. You don't have to do anything besides use them to break them in but they will seem to become quieter and smoother after a little use but they do not lose any effectiveness. In fact just the opposite. They will work better. If want you can use a lower quality blade to break them in particularly if you are using very fine grits on expensive knives. **Q: if i only want to sharpen kitchen knives do i need more than 1 plate? which one do i need? ty** A: #1 don't get anything from DMT, get the Ultra sharp stones. #2 start with 600 grit plate for decent sharpness. #3 depending on how sharp you want to go, get the 1200 grit plate for excellent sharpness. If you want sharper, say razor sharpness you will need some skill and a water stone. You'll have to decide your self by trying the first stone if you need to go finer. **Q: Is this the only stone I need for general sharpening? I’m a beginner** A: It would probably be okay, if you never let the edge get too rough. It would take a while to repair any kind of neglect with this. This also wouldn't get an edge razor sharp, but would get it close enough that you could hit it with a strop or steel. I love my diamond stones, but if I had to use only one stone I'd probably go with a good natural oil stone. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional *by T***S on 17 March 2020* Just pretty much reprofiled an old kitchen knife with a 600 grit fine stone!!
