Quick and easy! Sharpened all my kitchen knifes! Quick results and so easy.I am using the box as a holder while sharpening, and it is a little clumsy. May need to get a holder of some sort or use my vise...And I could see for maintenance of edges, I would probably never use the coarse stone, but it is good to have. 5Supper starter set a great price Excellent!I have been using Japanese water stones for years on my plethora of chisels and plane irons. My set goes from 320 to 8000 grit and they allow me to achieve an absolute mirror finish. So why am I reviewing diamond stones? Well, all water stones dish (cup) in with use and are soft enough to gouge easily. They also groove easily i.e if you re-bevel a 1/4" chisel and move on to a wider one next over the same tract, you can observe the lack of cutting on the chisels bevel. Obviously there are workarounds - start with widest first, do run along same path). While this is especially true of the lower grits, even the 8000 which is relatively hard will require resurfacing, which can be a time consuming task. So I decided to give diamonds a try. I have used small diamond cards for touching up router bits but this was my first time on my chisels and irons.I got this set for several reasons: DMT's reputation for quality, a good spread of 3 different grits, and a great price for a 3 stone set. I was worried about the 6x2 inch size as I always use a Veritas jig (never developed the skill of hand holding) resulting in a shorter stroke, and my irons are 2" wide (easy to miss the edge on a 2" stone).Results:* They cut is very fast. I chose not to use the word `aggressive' as it may imply a coarser than expected cut, I compared the surface scratch pattern left from these to ones left by comparable water stones and they matched up well. The difference was how fast I got there, it required approximately 1/3rd as many strokes on the diamond stones to achieve the same result!* They are ready for use instantly, you should allow 30 minutes of soak time prior to using Japanese water stones.* Virtually no mess (comparatively speaking). Water stones generate a lot of slurry quickly and must be washed down constantly. These diamond stones only need a light misting and the "polka-dot" design does a good job of capturing the particles making clean up fast, easy, and infrequent, all it requires is a wipe down with a damp rag. I think I would prefer a continuous surface on anything smaller than " (DMT has other products that provide this).* The finest grit in this set is only 1200 and the coarsest is 325. I can see and feel the difference in performance when I polish the final bevel with my 8000 water stone but for most work and most users the 1200 finish is fine. Note that DMT does make 2200 and 8000 grit stones but I have not tried them (yet). If you need to do a major repair of change the bevel angle, it will take you awhile with the 325 stone. DMT should think about offering a 4 or 5 stone set, but these 3 grits are sufficient for a wide variety of sharping.* Very light weight. The diamond plate is laminated to a hollow thin plastic box. This is a bit of a disappointment as it gives it a cheap feel (may be one reason for the set being so economically priced). Heavy downward pressure can/will deform, running surface flatness. However, as they cut so well you only need a slight down force. The big disadvantage is that you really cannot use them out of the wood box as they move around easily. The box does do a good job holding them in place.* The Box. It is a nice holding fixture and has rubber feet on the bottom. For many things (like chisels) it is convenient to have all three stones held alongside each other so you can quickly go from one to the next. However it is a pain for things like long knives. The lid just sort of sits there, allowing it to fall off easily. Some sort of latch or magnets to hold it on would be an improvement.* DMT uses a color code to identify grit. While I don't mind this it really would be nice if they printed the grit number on the stone or the holder.Unknowns: How long will they last? Japanese water stones can last several life times, resurface (flatten) it and you have a new stone, I am still using the ones I got 15 years ago and only the very coarsest ones are showing their age (thinning from flattening). How long these DMT's will maintain their cutting ability remains to be seen but from everything I have read, they should last a very long time. However the small diamond hones (brand x not from DMT) I use on router bits have not lasted, so I remain a skeptic. I will update this review down the road and let you know.I highly recommend these as a starter set for anyone looking to try diamond sharpening stones and I will likely be buying additional DMT products. I do not think you can find a better value for the price of this set. 5Great stones Great stones. They cut very quickly and give a wonderful finish. Personally, I like to use a finer grit to finish up with in order to give my blades a more mirror sheen, but I can accomplish that with sandpaper; it hasn't been necessary in my experience. I will confess to being a little disappointed when I found that the "stones" were, in fact, hollow plastic blanks with the cutting edge on top, but it's really not that big a deal; they do their job well.One thing to mention (which is probably a common thing that I'm just unaware of) is that the "stones" will move a little bit (maybe 1/16") in their opening in the box. This means that, if you're putting water on the stones and some of the water rolls off (as it will), then the water is likely to splash up dirty water onto you. Not an issue for me as I don't wear my fine clothes when I'm woodworkiing, but just something I thought I'd mention 4Effective Quality package I usually use water stones, but decided to try this threesome just for the heck of it. I must say, I was impressed. I put a bit of water on the stone, and they seemed to work well even on the first knife (pre-"broken in") After the extra fine stone, the edges seemed so smooth that I didn't even need the sharpening steel to finish it off. The edges seem to be smooth, the knives much sharper than before with little or no mess. For an edge that's REALLY out of shape, the coarse stone is perhaps not coarse enough (or one should use an even coarser product), but I just exercised my arms with a bit more passes and the edge repaired. The wooden box was a bit of a disappointment. First, it would have been nicer with a hinge. Second, the wooden "beds" for the stones were a bit tight, and I gouged them out a bit to let the stones be removed and replaced without struggling. Also, I put a label on the side of each stone to remind me of which grade grit it was--it would have been nice to have that printed on each stone when they arrived. However, the stones work well, the base is thick enough that I can hold them in my hand and retain all ten fingers, and, I must say, they work surprisingly well. (And it seems a pretty good price for a threesome plus a wooden case!!)ADDENDUM: Some months later, I happened to be asked to sharpen a friend's knife block's worth of kitchen knives. I brought this set along and my beloved water stones. I sharpened half of the knives with each. To my surprise, the knives sharped with this DMT set were sharpened as well or better than the ones sharpened with the water stones. Of course, these DMT don't need to be re-flattened or presoaked.I hate to admit it, but this DMT set sharpened as well or better than other methods requiring a lot more trouble and a lot more skill... 5Useful Sharpening Tool Spent some time sharpening a new set of chisels (6) and the stones worked fine. I used a Veritas honing guide and it took some getting used to the short length of the stones. The guide required me to work one half of the stone and then rotate it 180 degrees to complete honing. Free hand use (for example when lapping the chisel) worked easier. Although the wood box provides a sufficient platform for use of the stones, the middle stone (whichever one you place there) needs to be put on one of the ends to properly work and avoid hitting either one of the outside stones. The wood box is made of soft wood and I have unsuccessfully attempted to protect it from the water and metal debris by coating it with a polyurethane finish. It will get stained, period. On one occasion, the chisel caught on one of the circular perforations but that might just be my rookie mistake. I look forward to flattening my water and oil stones and sharpening my tools and kitchen cutting instruments for years to come. 4Best sharpening tool I've used 2017-08-24This set performs very well. I've used this on very dull, cheap knives and the results are excellent. I've also used this on my chisels and the blade of my block plane which also produced excellent results. I don't even need to use a honing guide because I only need less than 50 strokes total (using all 3 grits), which means I don't need to maintain the angle for a long time.I've only used this for less than a week, so I cannot comment on long term use (which I believe the ad said it has a long service life).The product description mentioned about a beautiful hardwood box. It's nice, but I won't call it beautiful, especially since the top and bottom halves don't even have the same size. The cavity for the sharpening stones is rough as if the routing job only had one pass. Also, the case was glued from two pieces of wood (2 pieces on the top half, and 2 pieces on the bottom half). Finally, the stones sit at a bevel inside the cavity, which irritated me more than the rough routing job. I'm not removing any stars though, as I don't really care about the case, but since it was advertised as beautiful, I thought I'd leave a comment about it.I'll probably buy the 2X course grit later. 5Good stones; case became useless I've had these for two weeks now I've sharpened several wood chisels with them, and they've worked well. This morning, they don't fit in the case anymore; I guess it expanded, even though we've had the same hot dry weather for the last two weeks. I'm fairly disappointed now, as I don't have a place to store them. 3Perfect After recently acquiring DMT's extra course whetstone, I decided I had to have a more robust set. This thing is priced quite nicely considering you're getting three beautiful stones. Unless you have extreme repairs to make, or ultra ultra fine detail you wish to put on an edge, most people interested in sharpening their blades can probably just pick this up and call it a day.Compared to the tradition japanese wetstones I'm used to using, these things are clean, fast, and very efficient. The course stone is no slouch, so be sure to be careful while using it. It's great for remaking bevels and cleaning up chips and nicks in record time. From there you'll find yourself working through the fine and extra fine stones very quickly. I work in a fairly small, inconvenient area, so these things are great for minimizing messes. Maybe not noise though. As you can imagine, grinding knives on steel and diamond grit is a bit more noisy than sliding one along slurry-covered wetstones.Oh, and my box came in nice and straight. It's lightly oiled to a smooth finish and comfortably fits the stones without cramping them. Although the box does have rubber mounts that keep it from moving around, I recommend investing in a more reliable base that won't be affected by water. Thankfully I got that single extra course stone first, so I can just swap the stones out onto that.I'm very satisfied with this product, I wish I could give it six stars. I'll keep my comfy japanese wetstones around for when I have time to get messy. But for the most part, this will be all I need. Love it. 5Decent Value I see these as a decently valued starter set for sharpening. I appreciate that DMT made an affordable set of diamond sharpening stones. I think there are several things that allow them to do this. 1) the design of the stone with diamond coverage only on part of the stone and the circles which are supposed to capture grit/swarf. 2) the cheap plastic substrate that the stones are made out of. That said, I still believe this set to be a good value and probably something the average woodworker won't wear out, especially any time soon. My biggest complain is that they cheaped out on the box so badly. It looks nice, but as others have stated the stones fit loosely in it so that you cannot sharpen with the stones in the box because they move around in it. So easy to fix yet DMT does nothing. Also, if this box gets even slightly wet IT WILL warp beyone belief and become instantly unusable. I can't imagine that providing a decent box would cost DMT much more and it would make a big difference. The box is so terrible I was torn between a 3 star and 4 star rating. I gave this 4 stars because for the price is presents a pretty good value....despite its short comings. 4Excellent product I agonized over what sharpening system to purchase for my chisels, planes, and knives and finally pulled the trigger on this set; I am very happy with my purchase. Sharpening on these "stones" is very easy and I found the blue (course) stone to be my favorite because of how quickly I was able to re-profile blades with it. The green (fine) stone will get your instruments sharp, but you'll need some buffing compound and a strop in order to get a mirror finish on your blades.There are two things I don't like about these diamond stones (they're not big enough to warrant removing a star):- I wish the stones were slightly wider. My most used plane (#4) is wider than the stone is, so I have to sharpen it on an angle... see picture.- The stones don't fit snuggly into the wooden case, so you have to remove the stones in order to accurately sharpen something. I think there's about 1/16" - 1/8" play on either side of the stone. 5
