Amazon.com Review
This all-purpose whetstone sharpens and hones a variety of household tools and equipment, maintaining the accessories for the hobbies of just about everyone in the house. Its most common use is for sharpening kitchen cutlery and scissors; however, this whetstone also works on chisels, planes, masonry drills, and other shop tools; garden tools; ice skates; climbing equipment; ski edges; fishhooks; ceramic; stone; and glass. The whetstone is durably and uniquely constructed of perforated steel molded into a plastic base. The surface features minute pieces of diamond, the hardest known material for sharpening, embedded into a nickel plate, to achieve an extremely sharp edge. The bonded diamonds are arranged around an innovative pattern of plastic discs and the combination of these two materials greatly reduces sharpening time and resists wearing over time. This particular whetstone is encrusted with a fine diamond grit of 600 mesh to put a razor-sharp edge on any type of blade. The surface should be moistened before sharpening and the blade should be passed over the whetstone with light pressure at a 20-degree angle to get the proper edge without dulling it. After sharpening, the whetstone may simply be wiped off and its nonporous properties prevent water from seeping below the surface. This whetstone measures 6 by 2 by 3/4 inches and has rubber safety feet underneath it to prevent sliding during sharpening. DMT generously vows to replace any product found to be defective free of charge. --Cristina Vaamonde |

Fast and Uniform by Richard Wong (Ewing, NJ United States)  5 Stars
November 03, 2009
I sharpen my kitchen cutleries by hand using this DMT diamond stone and a Japanese combination water stone: Woodstock D1130 1000 Grit and 6000 Grit Japanese Waterstone. Despite this is called a "fine" grit stone, it is plenty aggressive to sharpen a typical kitchen knife. The DMT diamond stones need a small amount of water during sharpening. It is to help prevent metal fines from sticking to the sharpening surface. In my opinion, water lubricant stones are superior to oil assisted stones for two reasons. First, it is easy to apply water and to clean up afterward. Second, water is less slippy than oil and therefore it is safer to sharp a knife with wet hands than oiled hands. DMT makes interrupted surface and continuous surface diamond stones. This belongs to the former. For most applications, the interrupted surface is superior because it allows metal fines to fall into the slightly recessed area and remains out of the sharpening surface. This allows greater sharpening performance by eliminating the need to constantly washing and removing the metal fines from the surface. However, if your tools have very small blades, then they will get caught in the recessed area. You will need a continuous surface diamond stone for these small blade tools. I have upload a closeup customer picture of the diamond stone. The stone is 6" X 2", adequate for most kitchen knives. The receded red dot areas are 1/8" in diameter. In my experience, your blade needs to be at least 1/2" in length to comfortably take advantage of the interrupted surface.
I bought this DMT fine diamond stone for $35 and now it is only $23. I find this diamond stone to be very versatile. It cut fast and uniform, and yet gives you full control of the sharpening process unlike a grinding wheel. The DMT grinding surface is extremely flat, so I also use it to flatten my Japanese water stones. If you have never used a diamond stone, then you will be surprised how fast this stone can cut/grind. I certainly was. This saves time, energy and improve sharpening results. Because the diamond stones cut faster than other stones, I like to suggest new users to check on their progress a bit more often and also apply less force downward at the whetstone.
Despite this DMT stone is advertised as fine grit, the grit size is 600 which is far too coarse to be considered as a fine grit stone by the standard definition. Knife edges ground by this diamond stone are coarse and will need to be polished on finer stones.
Assuming you are into sharpening your knives or tools, I highly recommend this or one of the other diamond stones. You won't regret getting a DMT diamond stone.

Perfect by Mark Dudick 5 Stars
October 05, 2009
I am a collecter and do buy some used knifes from time to time for my personal collection and dress them with this stone. I can put a "razor edge" on an older "somewhat used" knife as long as the blade is not damaged, without loosing the value of the knife.
Just buy it.

EXCELLENT SHARPENING/WHETSTONE by S. MARKS (WASHINGTON D.C.) 5 Stars
September 12, 2009
I have nothng but PRAISE for this product. Don't look at something else, just buy it! Use the Fine for the initial sharpening (a perfect job for the average knife) and consider buying the Extra Fine for that razor edge!

Good and sharp by T. J. Zimm 5 Stars
March 29, 2009
I like this sharpener. I am a beginner at chisel sharpening and this block is easy to use b/c it sharpens so fast with a level plate and good abrasive power. It is a wet-stone, though so water is important to its use. The light-weight case is also a nice bonus.

Excellent price for this product by Rolf E. Pedersen (Oakland, CA USA) 5 Stars
June 13, 2008
A number of my suppliers have had this type of diamond whetstone on the counter for some time and I had a chance to try it on my pocket knife. I have been shopping for it, as I knew I would like to have one, but the cost was pretty high. When I found this seller offering a substantially lower price, I ordered it. Shipping was prompt and I am happy with this purchase!
