Ultra Sharp Diamond Sharpening Stone - Fine 600 Grit - 8 x 3

These diamond honing plates are absolutely fantastic! I have a 600, 1200, 2400 and 3000 from which I’m able to produce a super keen edge able to shave the hair off my arm. The quality of the diamond plates is excellent!I use my diamond plates dry as I’ve found zero benefit in using a honing fluid, which only creates extra hassle, mess and time. The method I use to sharpen my chisels and planer blades is to first grind a primary bevel two degrees less than the target bevel angle. I then hone the tool to produce a secondary bevel at the target bevel angle, using a honing guide on each diamond plate for approximately 20-30 strokes, or until a fine burr can be detected. The secondary bevel is initially only about 1mm (1/16”) thick, however after a half dozen honings, the secondary bevel will end up about 3mm (1/8”) thick, which is then when I regrind the primary bevel. The whole process of honing the secondary bevel only takes less than a couple of minutes and I’m back to work.

Great diamond plate for a very reasonable price. Better then the current DMTs. I always check my new plates against a precision straight edge and this one is dead flat. The box and presentation is top notch. It says to me that they care about their product. I’ve abused it lapping a ultra hard surgical black ark, various other stones and used it a lot for sharpening and it hasn’t shed any diamonds. I hone razors commercially so it sees a lot of use and doesn’t show any signs of wearing out. Much like the DMT, it sticks a bit when lapping if you don’t keep enough water running. This is where the atoma is king. But This is half the price of an atoma and makes your stones just as flat.When you first get it it’s coarser then it’s rating like all plates, but a few mins either lapping a coarse stone, or sharpening a chisel or knife etc and it breaks in nicely. The 600 grit rating is accurate in my opinion. Overall I’m very pleased with this and will definitely be buying another when this one wears out.

This plate was recommended to me by a chef for flattening my water stones. It does a perfect job with very little effort. Very good product

Diamonds are distributed all the way to the very edges of the stone, better than DMT. Rough at first but thats normal with 'any diamond plate' i dont follow the break in method, i just use them and they settle in nicely.

Great product
