    A Great Single Solution for Keeping Knives Sharp DMT sharpening stones are durable, fast, and easy to use and clean. Some knife purists think of them as crude, and worry that they take too much metal off too quickly (just use a lighter touch and you'll be fine). If you just want to keep kitchen knives, pocket knives and chisels sharp with minimal effort they are a very effective solution.The 10" surface of this product is much easier to use, faster and more enjoyable than the 6" ones. More room to work with means you can take a longer stroke and cover the entire blade without worrying about sliding off the surface. The size is also a drawback - it won't fit easily in a kitchen drawer, at least not if you want to keep other tools in there. I store mine in a cabinet among cooking vessels.Dual surfaces (fine/extra-fine) make it easy to take a tool from somewhat dull to razor sharp without keeping track of multiple stones. It is fairly easy to switch between the two surfaces (just slide the stone out of the stand, flip it, and slide it back in).The stand is stable on a counter, and the rubber feet keep it in place well.If you want the simplest solution, go for a 6" stone. If you can pay more, this larger version is well worth the price for convenience, speed and the pleasure of having more room. 5An Effective High Quality Sharpening Stone The abrasive cutting action of the DMT diamond "stone" is, in my opinion, more aggressive than conventional carbon or aluminum oxide whetstones, thus making this stone easier to use and more effective in honing a very sharp knife edge. The included directions for knife sharpening are simple and brief. Following same, it only took a short amount of practice before I was consistently producing good sharp edges on the kitchen and shop knives I regularly use. Quality is worth the price -- in sum, an excellent US-made product. 5If you want sharp knives don't hesitate just buy this now I cannot imagine why I waited so long to use this. I am 65 years old and have been sharpening knives since I was 12. This is by far the easiest and fastest method that I have used. 5Wish i had got one years ago Been using Japanese Whetstones for well over 25 years from Shaptons, kings, Gesshin's, Nubatamas, to J-nats. I've used the course Dia sharp for flattening for as long as I can remember except when I use the Shapton flattener. Needed something for the down and dirty quick turn around since I sharpen in large volumes and not every knife needs to be 8k or up. This is quick, clean and leaves a nice toothy edge after stropping on plain uncoated leather, basically no substrate applied. Just the stone and strop to make her work well. Love the holder also. Great investment for a professional sharpener, especially when there's 20 or morning in line that have to go. Would buy again. We will be getting the 8k also for the picky customers. 5Generally happy with this I bought two stones, for all four grades of the stones. I bought this set and then I got another fine/Extra fine stone and I bought another of the bases, the 'magna base' for my other stone. I ended up with one base with the magnet, and one without. As the stones have different grades on each side, there is a lot of switching during sharpening. The regular base in this set is OK, but you have to unclip the stone to flip it over to use the other side. The magnet base adapter is much easier, and all you do is lift up the stone off the magnet, flip it, and get back to sharpening. I held the base on my bench using the tail vise, which makes it very easy. If I had to do it again, I would just get one base, the magnetic one, and get the stones separately. I am still pleased, however.The longer and wider stones in this set are so much better and easier to use than the 3 x 8" size. If you can afford it, go for the larger size stones and the magnetic based. 5Great Sharpening Plates, Poor Labeling I use these mostly for sharpening woodworking tools, but I also use them for any other sharpening job that surfaces. These are expensive diamond plates, but I believe they are worth it. I didn't buy mine from Amazon because I found a great Black Friday deal at another web site, I just couldn't pass up. Sorry Amazon! I buy almost everything from Amazon if possible.I bought the 10" kit that comes with 2 DuoSharp (dual sided) diamond plates and one ABS plastic base. I actually like the base. It is simple but it works. I will order a second one so I don't have to keep switching out the diamond plates. One diamond plate is labeled Extra Course/Course and the other is labeled Fine/Extra Fine (more about that later).These plates work really well, they cut fast and you don't have to worry about wearing them down. Like many people, when I first looked at them, I thought, "How can those work with those holes in the plates?" They actually work really well, thank-you! As you grind across the plate, some of the slurry goes into the holes to keep the plate clear, this is one of the reasons why the plates cut so fast and require very little pressure. I also noticed that the hole pattern gives me auditory and tactile feedback. When I first start sharpening, I hear and feel the zip, zip, zip, as the blade moves across the plate. As the blade sharpens, the zip, zip, zip changes to a more gentle shush, shush, shush indicating the blade is getting sharper. Did I say they work great?Anyway, so why only 4 stars and not 5? Well, for one simple reason - Why is it so difficult for DMT to label their products so a person can quickly identify them and compare them to other whetstones? DMT feels the need to use a color coded system, why? OK, over time I will memorize the colors, but is it asking too much for DMT to mold the words "Fine" or "Course" into the substrate? Instead they put a colored dot on the plate. On their smaller plates, the entire plate substrate is colored. Why did DMT not do this on the larger plates? I don't have the youngest eyes, but I can't tell the difference between the black and the blue dot in less than bright light. How about a great big "FINE" or "EXTRA FINE" in neon letters! I opted to use a sharpie to mark mine for easier identification (see photo 2).When I was shopping for a sharpening solution, I found it very difficult (and still do) to compare these diamond plates to other whetstones. What does DMT mean when they say Extra Course, Course, Fine, Extra Fine, and Extra Extra Fine? Does it create the same mental image of what these terms mean when talking about sandpaper? Do all whetstones use comparable terminology? It turns out that the answer is a bit complicated and if I had to give a one word answer it would be - Nope!For example, if you look at the information provided by DMT, a Fine plate is described to have a 600 mesh/25 micron particle size. OK, how does that compare to other whetstones or abrasives? What I found out is that it isn't really all that easy to compare one abrasive to another because it depends not only on the size of the grit particles but also on the uniformity of the particle sizes, how many particles are on the substrate, and how evenly the particles are distributed across the substrate. So anyway, I recommend using the Mesh value and the Micron size rating to give you a relative comparison with other whetstones. Heck, I don't even know what "Mesh" means, but the Fine diamond plate is rated as "600 mesh/25 microns". Looking at other whetstones (Shapton ceramic stones), it appears that a 25 micron stone is probably around 600 grit. OK so does "Mesh" mean the same thing as "Grit"? Not exactly! What DMT calls their "Extra Extra Fine" plate at "8000 mesh/3 microns" looks to be about the same particle size as a 6500 grit whetstone. In my mind 6500 grit does not qualify as Extra Extra Fine. For another example, a Shapton 8000 grit ceramic stone has an abrasive particle size of 1.84 microns which is about one-half the size of the 8000 mesh/Extra Extra Fine DMT plate. Getting even finer, the Shapton 16000 grit ceramic stone has a particle size of .92 microns and the 30000 grit Shapton has a particle size of .49 microns. Now that is Extra Extra fine!Don't get me wrong, I am not blaming DMT. There doesn't appear to be a uniform industry rating system for these products which makes it hard to compare adequately. I love these diamond plates! They are expensive, but they will last a very long time and give predictable results every time with very little maintenance. The product information doesn't recommend doing this, but I use these diamond plates to lap my other whetstones including the Shapton 16000. I would give these diamond plates 4.5 stars if I could, and if DMT would come up with a better labeling system and a better explanation of how to compare these diamond plates to other sharpening options, I would definitely rate them a 5+.Photo 1: Size of the plates about 10.5 x 4 - Get the big ones if budget will allow.Photo 2: I added the letter designation to help me remember the color codePhoto 3: Relative size compared to an 8" Shapton ceramic whetstone. Now, that is how to label a whetstone!Pros: Cuts fast, flat, little maintenance, joy to use, great valueCons: Expensive, labeling is poor, difficult to compare to other products.I strongly recommend these products. 4Great stuff from DMT Excellent quality, Made in USA sharpening stones. The base is nice to hold and releases the stone easily by squeezing a couple of release tabs underneath the holder.One complaint: I wish the stones were X fine on one side and XX fine on the other, instead they are X fine and Fine. As a woodworker, the Fine side at 600 grit does not do all that for me, it's too coarse for tools that are already quite sharp.But I do love all the real estate on this stone, it's huge. 4Even better than expected. I bought this and the fine/very fine (red/green) stone without stand. I've owned a red/green folding pocket size sharpener from DMT for about 10 years. With that I've been able to resharpen box cutter blades to new or better sharpness when I forgot to bring my replacement stash. So, I've been looking forward for years to getting a full size stone set.They are amazing. I took two very different quality stainless kitchen knives and reshaped the edges and brought them to razor sharpness faster than I thought possible. A blunted cleaver got the same treatment, though I stopped with the fine (red) stone given what the knife is used for. Still, it's close to razor sharp judging by a finger feel along the new edge.I went through all the non-serrated kitchen knives I have, including two high carbon non-stainless blades. Those I hit with WD-40 to protect those fine edges afterward.Since DMT's web site says it's OK, I also refinished the edges on a couple of ceramic blades that had tiny chips on the edges. I used only the fine and very fine stones for that, pressing quite lightly using lots of strokes. The red stone pulled the whole blade down past the level of the little chips, and the green stone brought them back to razor sharp. I don't have the ultra fine stone, but I'd consider it in a smaller size for the ceramic blades.For the steel blades I used a cup of water with a tiny amount of detergent to float the sharpening debris. Doesn't take much. I had 1/3 left after doing 5 blades on 4 stones. After I was done I just sluiced them off under the kitchen faucet, towel dried, then let them air dry.The ceramic blades I sharpened dry. I just wiped off the dust with an old T-shirt.I'm a little uneasy about the bench holder for the stones. It's a light weight ABS type of plastic. They use interchangeable rubber cylinders to hold the stand steady on the bench, and the stones steady on the stand. They worked well for me, even on a slick tile countertop. The latches for the clips that hold down the stones look like a weak point...maybe. The the way the thing goes together prevents them from flexing too much, so with care they may last a good while. I'll update this in a year or so with how they last. 5probably the best sharpener for a typical household I need to sharpen a head knife and read somewhere to purchase the largest sharpening surface area one can afford. People who use this will appreciate its size. I received mine without the base (it was quickly remedied by the seller) and buyers need to know that the slab is not nearly as easy to use without the base.The "fine" side is sufficiently coarse to put an edge on a dull knife. the "extra fine" side is so smooth i was skeptical that it did anything at all. But it hones a superfine hair-shaving edge to my blades.This thing beats the pants off stones because the surface doesnt wear like stone, and needs no lube.IMO (even if i'm mildly obsessive about my blades) this is the best sharpener for typical knife maintenance (should be for $125!). And though it might be a little overkill for the typical household, it is a joy to use and i expect it to last a lifetime. 5Beautiful! This sharpening system is amazing. I got the red/green = fine/super fine combo to start a new hobby and get my kitchen knives (which I've always been obsessed with) back to razor sharp. This stone may not seem ideal for the novice sharpener since it is so expensive, but really since the diamond coating and the "stone" doesn't erode then you don't get the pits that most people have to keep an eye on and constantly maintain. The grits that I got were perfect. While the red/ fine side is agressive enough to remake the edge quickly it still isn't coarse enough to gouge the knife/chisel/ whatever you dang well please to sharpen. Haha it's beautiful and I'm glad I sprung for it. The blade guide I ordered with it, because I'm a novice and was worried, says it's going to take a month and a half to deliver... so... if you get that companion to the be prepared for that. But as of right now I don't think it's even needed. Thanks! 5
