DMT W8EFNB 8-Inch DuoSharp Bench Stone Extra-Fine / Fine
The DMT Difference
Since 1976, DMT has been in business to do just one thing: make the world’s best diamond sharpeners. Product innovations such as our signature polka-dot interrupted surface, and others with our continuous surface of high-performance diamond, are praised worldwide for their superior quality.
From pocket-sized whetstones to heavy-duty bench stones, the difference arrives time and again through our undivided pursuit of sharpening excellence.
For DMT products, no oil or pressure must be used to sharpen the tool or knife.
Quality must be manufactured, not fabricated
Diamond Coverage differs widely from one manufacturer to the next. For long-lasting performance, DMT makes certain that each sharpening surface carries the most diamonds per square inch in the industry.
Diamond Uniformity is also key to sharpener performance. DMT uses a proprietary process that ensures near-perfect consistency in grit size. The result is a micronised monocrystalline diamond that covers evenly across the sharpening surface to prove effective with every use, year after year.
Beware of imitators!
Surface Flatness can mean the difference between a well-honed tool and one that is barely serviceable. Flat surfaces maintain consistent, even contact with the edge to produce a bevel that carries the same degree of sharpness from end to end. DMT sharpeners are engineered to be the flattest on the market, and built to outlast other products, which are variable in surface, and often warped, hollowed or grooved.
DMT Benefits
- The most diamonds per square inch in the industry
- Near-perfect consistency in grit size
- The DMT sharpener produces a clean, razor-sharp edge

Unglaublich wie schnell diese Diamanten das Material abtragen ! Ohne jeglichen Druck auf die Klinge, ohne Wasser und ohne l. Tolles Zeug von DMT !
I’ve sharpened several chisels now all of which were dull and ineffective. They now are very sharp and even trim end grain. I also recommend a honing guide for good results.
So far the DMT duosharp seems to be working great. It’s much better than the Trend stone that I’d tried previously. I will likely order more DMT sharpening gear after I perform a couple more tasks on the duosharp.
Great fine stone, good quality, really happy with it.Thank you
Genau was ich erwartet habe, habe ich bekommen. Preis Leistung voll okay. Habe nichts anderes von DMT erwartet. Super jederzeit gerne wiede
I’ve been using DMT whetstones for decades – originally the 8″ interrupted-surface bench stones (the ones in natty wooden boxes) – now these similar-surfaced double-sided plates.
This particular one – Extra Coarse/Coarse – is just about perfect for flatting-off paring-chisel backs, or plane-irons; then making a nice regular bevel, before honing.
Quick-cutting & very long-lasting – so long as you lubricate (cheap window-cleaning spray), don’t push down hard, wash & dry after use, & above all don’t use it for flatting-off your Waterstones. That quickly dulls the ‘bite’ of the DMT plate.
I find these interrupted-surface plates more reliably flat & regularly-surfaced that DMT’s solid plates. Both are incomparably superior to any cheapo diamond stone.
Piedra diamamtada de la casa Dmt, Extra gruesa. Como se espera, come mucho material y rpido aunque me da la sensacin de que no durar mucho para el precio que vale, creo que el desgaste del material es algo rpido. Ya iremos viendo.
DMT works great. Have several combinations of grits. I think if you are going to Diamonds DMT is the only brand you should chose.
Trs bonne pierre d’affutage.
Le grain diffrent sur chaque face est trs pratique : un ct pour dgrossir, le deuxime pour affiner.
This removes metal like it’s nobody’s business.
I can repair any edge extremely fast without much effort.
I also have a duosharp fine/extra fine. That combo is amazing and highly recommend them.
A friend showed me his DuoSharp stone. Bought my own right away. Sharpens fast, easy to store, doesn’t require flattening all the time like my water stones.
Works very well. I have had one at home for several years and ordered this one for my son. I like sharp knives in the kitchen, and this DMT diamond stone makes sharpening quick and easy.
Great diamond stone work fast. Can use as lapping plate for conventional stone.
I bought 2 of these, one extra-fine/fine, one medium/coarse. The grit’s a bit off compared to what one might expect; I’d call fine “medium”, and extra-fine “fine”.
Still, you can put a good edge on a blade fast. They are held by the base securely, and one of the stones came with a slightly sticky pad so you could use them without the stand.
I would, for normal household use, recommend the 6″ stone instead; these are huge. There’s no functional issue, a 6″ would be more than enough for pocket and kitchen knives and easier to store.
I’ve owned these in the past and you cannot beat the quality of the edge and the short time it takes to get you there. Always use fresh water as the cut lube and rinse the dust off the stone, and it will last for years
Schon beim ersten Ansatz der Klinge fhlte ich das ich hier eine Alien Technologie vor mir hatte.
Ich fragte ob er den Stein aus der Area 51 gestohlen htte und musste lachen.
Groartiges Produkt, da kann kein Wasserschleifstein der Welt mithalten und ich habe schon viele ausprobiert.
Bei der Garantie steht “Lebenslang”, da bin ich mal gespannt, denn ich schrfe fast tglich als Sushi-Koch.
Absolute empfehlung von mir !
Seems to cut pretty fast. Its hard to keep in place without some sort of base. I have only used it half a dozen times so time will tell if it is worth the price.
I have used a variety of sharpening stones over the years.. This is not a stone but a type of diamond grit, bonded to a perforated metal backing.
This ‘stone’ sharpens FAST ! A few swipes on each side and your knife is SHARP ! Chisels and plane irons take little more work, but nothing like a water stone or an oil stone. Plane irons come away ” wicked sharp” as they say in New England.
If you own cutting tools, you should have one of these !
at this price still extortionate but the cheapest nonethe less. well done
This is one of if not the best combinations to get. The course side can be used to easily grind down edges to erase nicks or chips in the blade, and the extra fine side can be used to hone the edge to razor sharpness fairly quickly.
excellent I can see why people like this item fast and easy to use easy care
Excellent for bringing back neglected edges. Prepares them for the finer grits.
I have tried many sharpening systems with little success. This is by far the easiest and cleanest way to sharpen a knife. I have used oil stones, a Tormek knock-off (too much trouble for a quick sharpening), electric as well as hand held countertop sharpeners.
I was able to move from extra-coarse (very bad knife) to the fine stone in just a few strokes and was working with a very sharp knife in minutes with minimal clean-up. Try that with oil stones or the Tormek system.
It’s a great product. Highly recommended.
This is a great tool for getting a knife sharp. It works fast and easy, just a few strokes and you can have a razor edge on your knife, and there is no mess. You are getting great value for the cost with this item.
This is the best bench stone I have ever used. Puts an incredibly sharp edge on any blade really quickly. For kitchen and field knives the extra-fine side is over-kill – you will be better off selecting a DuoSharp course / fine stone. Extra-fine is a good choice for woodworking tools, but not necessary for anything else. You will actually get a better working edge for kitchen applications from a fine stone. Regardless of which stone you choose, be sure to order a DuoBase for it. You will be glad you did.
I’ve used ordinary oilstones for 40 years of my working life – it’s a pity I didn’t discover Diamond stones before.
For anybody starting off in carpentry or joinery I would recommend this for achieving the grinding angle and buy a finer stone for final honing.
I read an article in Fine Homebuilding (March 2011 No. 217) about sharpening and they recommended this sharpener as a part of a system with other finer grits. They also recommended a honing guide that is fancier then the one I bought. This bench stone is very aggressive and very efficient. However, you need to have a way to hold whatever you are sharpening at the correct angle or this bench stone will ruin you edge. I would recommend this stone to anyone using it as a part of a sharpening routine.
First unit received was slightly bowed making it useless for any sharpening. Amazon was great about replacement. Second unit works well. Have used it to flatten all my plane irons and chisels.
I like the product as far as its ability to sharpen cutting tools.
the one problem I had is shortly after receiving it it fell off my work bench
onto a concrete floor and the colored plastic button was lost. Now I have no indicator as to which
surface is on which side. I can’t tell by feel as they seem the same to me. I will have to find
someone with sensitive touch to help me identify the different abrasives.
I’ve been using this stone as one of many to sharpen my chisels and handplanes. I’ve found that they remove material quickly and they take longe r to clog probably because of the small holes they have. I’m pretty happy with this stone and would definitely buy again.
