DMT WM8EF-WB Duosharpplus Bench Stone Extra Fine with Base Knife Sharpener, Grey
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
- Best Surface Flatness

Gute Qualität, Basis noch verbesserungswürdig
Der Diamantschleifer (eine Kunststoffplatte mit Aluminiumseiten, die diamantbeschichtet sind) selbst ist von recht guter Qualitt, die Schleifflchen (grob und fein) sind sehr homogen, das “Schleifgefhl” ist ber die gesamte Flche gleichbleibend, man merkt kein “Hakeln” oder “Rutschen”. ber Nasen der Kunststoffplatte lsst sich diese unter die Nasen bergreifende Halterungen der Basis schieben, wobei diese Halterungen dann ihrerseits mit Schnappverbindungen in die Basis einrasten. Das ist etwas filigran geraten und auch nicht optimal ausgefhrt, funktioniert jedoch. Hier scheint mir aber so eine Art sollbruchstelle zu sein.
Was mit sehr gut gefllt ist die eingngige Farbcodierung mittels Farbpunkten, die die momentan aktuelle Schleifkrnung anzeigt und durch einen kleineren Farbpunkt darin die Krnung der gegenberliegenden und daher ja gerade nicht sichtbaren Seite.
Alles in allem ziemlich gut und brauchbar, wenn auch nicht gerade billig.
anyone who has attempted to cut a mortise or tenon in timber framing knows how important a sharp chisel or slick is. and if you are doing it for someone else (for wages) even more so. This product delivers!

I have a nice collection of sharpeners: Japanese stones, diamond rods etc.. every time my wife asks me to sharpen a knife I find myself going to the DMT, it is fast, effective, clean and easy to use

Works great for fixing edge geometry on longer bladed knives. Very little pressure needed. I just use a little water as a lubricant. Easy to mount stones in holder.

With all the newer and harder knife steels out today this combo will take care of them all. Put's on a good working edge without any trouble. You can continue with finer grit stones if you are looking for a polished edge. Using this combo followed by a strop is all you need for a EDC (every day carry) or that utility knife in the kitchen.

The “stone” is nice. I have the coarse 325 and fine 600 combo. The plastic base is cheap. Better than nothing ... but not by much.

Der Schrfstein macht das schleifen von Messern zum Vergngen. Dank der grberen Seite lassen sich ohne weiteres Unebenheiten aus der Schneide beseitigen. Lediglich bei gebogenen Klingen ist etwas Geschick gefragt. Nach dem Abziehen auf einem Leder, ist selbst mit gnstigen Klingen ein Abrasieren von Haaren mglich.

I’ve had smaller pocket size stones and hones galore. Nothing compares to a proper bench sized unit - like this one! I considered classic Arkansas whetstone etc etc, but ultimately decided to go “high tech” with the diamond abrasives. I look forward to adding other grits for courser/finer work.

Knives renewed!!
Brought back our kitchen knives to original sharpness in 10 strokes on the coarse side.
Don’t waste your money on cheap stone or sharpening tool.
Einfach super!
Heute kam der 8″ DuoSharp an (blaue und rote Seite).
Ausgepackt und direkt losgelegt.
Ich muss sagen: so schnell hab ich noch nie ein Messer scharf bekommen. Fr den Hausgebrauch reicht mir sogar das Finish auf der roten Seite.
Meine Nasschleifmaschine hat wohl ausgedient.
Vorsicht mit Euren Fingern!

Product was pretty good, until it peeled very slightly from one of the holes. it was very slight, less than one of the circles on the plate. DMT, help me replace this quickly, and thus greatly appreciated, the plates were very good for restoring several chisels & plane irons. the blue side cut pretty well then red side to hone and sharpen it.
The red side is pretty good and could get the blades sharp enough to cut hair off your arm.
I think though if you want to get things even sharper, its better to also get the next very fine as well. I plan on making that a purchase later since i’ve had pretty good results so far.
Not sure how it sharpens compared to others. seems good though

This is so much better than using a whetstone that gets dished out every time you scrape something across it. QC has been an issue with some other DMT stones, but this one has been great. A pink eraser works well for cleaning up the stone when it gets messy.

It does exactly what I bought it to do very high quality . But first you have to take a flat piece of steel and rub off the high diamonds . then you will have high quality diamond sharpening rock.

Big and sturdy. Great for large implements. Can level up soft stones, too. Got it for my big knives and axes.

I have sharpen knives (Of all types) for over 55 years. This is to include scissors and fine knives. As someone who knows the ins and outs of sharpening, the DMT 8″ is all the stone one would need. I think it works best with water. This gives a relief of friction. The base is very solid. I put it on my wooden bench. I highly recommend this fine tool.

Great purchase. Sharpened knives quickly and very well. Easy to use. Easy to clean. I threw out the carbon stone sharpener I bought previously. It was frustrating to use. Very happy I got this diamond sharpener. Makes sharpening knives enjoyable. I am not lending this to anyone.

Sehr empfehlenswe
Das schrfen geht sehr leicht von der Hand.
Man bekommt unheimlich schnell und leicht eine sehr gute gebrauchsschfe hin, selbst bei sehr stumpfen Messern,
die quasi garkeine Schneide mehr besitzen.
By far the best knife sharpener I have ever owned. Used a traditional stone & oil for years, but the coarse / fine sides make it a snap. The only thing I wish they’d include would be a 20° wedge guide, but I made one from a piece of scrap wood. It works for everything from my hatchet to my Becker Campanion to my son’s small folding pocket knife to the chef knives in the kitchen. I highly recommend.

scärfer als gedach
Ich habe lange berlegt einen Schrfer zu kaufen. Dieser hier bertrifft meine Erwartungen. Habe bisher meine Kchenmesser nachgeschrft – mit sehr gutem Ergebnis. Und ich habe mich an ein altes Messer gemacht, dass eigentlich nur noch ein Stck Stahl war. Das Ergebnis mit der groben und dann der feinen Seite ist unglaublich. Meinen alten Wetzstahl werde ich nicht mehr benutzen.

I have had this for a month now. I have a set of kitchen knives that hare been difficult to sharpen. With these while it still takes time I have been able to actually get a good edge. I still prefer my stones but when car camping this is lighter and more friendly with knives that are used for food since no oil is need

I'm a furniture maker and use my chisels and planes quite a bit. I've used whetstones, oilstones, diamond sharpeners, etc. None of them have given me an edge as razor sharp and consistently perfect as this one, AND I can easily rinse it off with water when finished. I bought mine a few months ago and spent an entire day meticulously sharpening edges and flattening the soles of my handplanes, zero complaints and I'll probably add another grit selection in the future.

Tut was es soll!
Ich konnte damit prima alle meine Kchenmesser hervorragend schrfen. Bin gespannt wie hufig man den Vorgang wiederholen werden muss jetzt da man sich an schn scharfe Messer gewhnt hat. Top Lieferant Schmiedeglut.
saugut und sauscharf
Der Schleifstein wurde pnktlich geliefert und hlt das, was er verspricht! Im Video wurde fr den normalen Haushalt die Krnung grob und fein empfohlen! Absolut richtig! Klar sind 100 nicht billig aber in diesem Fall im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes preiswert!

I bought this stone to true up my chisels and plane irons. I already had another one of these in different grits. Now that I've got a set that goes from coarse to ultra fine my sharpening gets done quickly. And the stand works well and it's quick and easy to swap out stones.

… wie oben geschrieben, schnelle Lieferung und auch noch gnstigster Preis. Nandger hat auf youtube schne Anleitungen zum Messer schrfen. Auf eine Nachfrage per E-Mail wurde nach einem Tag kompetent geantwortet. Nun zum Produkt und auch der Frage:
Ich habe ja den DMT Duo fein/extrafein. Auf der feinen Seite waren zwei kleine Lcher. Das war meine Frage ob Mangel oder Produktbedingt. Es ist Produktbedingt, also wegen dem nicht zurckschicken. Ich lade ein Bild hierzu hoch.
Ich habe japanische Schleifsteine fr Global Messer und auch andere bis zu 18.000 er Schleifgrad. Ist halt immer eine Sauerei und fhrt an manchen Nachmittagen bei doch nicht unerheblicher Anzahl zu mediativem Schleifaktionen.
Habe auch ne elektrische Maschine. Aber der Diamantschleifstein funktioniert sehr gut wenn die Messer nicht gerade ganz stumpf sind. Sonst sollte man schon mal mit 240er nass anfangen….. Ergebnis ist schon fr mich sehr zufriedenstellend. Man(n) kann ja nie genug so Spielereien haben.
Klar, man sollte schon mit Stein schleifen knnen, aber das kann jeder lernen. Geht flux. Also Kauftipp. Japaner ziehen die Messer auch oft an einem Baumwolltuch ab. Also Mutters altes Bettlaken lngs einen Streifen abschneiden, mit einem Fu unten draufstehen, oben halten und dann Messer abziehen. Dazu gibts auch auf youtube von Global eine Anleitung. Geht schnell – besser natrlich Abziehleder mit Diamantpaste. Aber immer Zeit und Ergebnis gegenber stellen. Vielleicht hole ich mir noch den sehr sehr fein, aber man sollte ja die Kirche irgendwann auch mal im Dorf lassen.
Nochmals: die zwei Lchle sollen normal sein. Dann mal los.
Hoffe, das konnte helfe
Mit dem DMT Duo Sharp wird das Messer scharf.
Super Schrfergebnis. Meine Erwartungen wurden erfllt. Man braucht aber etwas Geduld beim Schleifen von Messern
die kaum noch schneiden. Ist nicht in 5 Minute gemacht. Ich brauche noch ein wenig bung. Sehr zu empfehlen ist das
Video von Schmiedeglut zum Schrfen von Messern mit dem DMT Duo Sharp. Tolle Anleitung.
Werde mir wohl irgendwann noch die Krnung sehr fein und super fein anschaffen.
Ein wenig vorsichtig muss man beim Schleifwinkel sein, damit man das Messer nicht zerkratzt.

I’ve got about 10 sharpening stones, and this is the best so far. Its big enough for chef knives, as well as small blades like paring knives. I like a sharp knife, and this is doing the job. I had an electric sharpener that worked great, but I gave it to my daughter once I got this sharpener. 5 strokes on one side, 5 strokes on the other, and the knife is ready for use. I’ve only used the fine side on the sharpener, but I like that it has a coarse side just in case. It doesn’t slide on the kitchen counter when used — this is a good thing. I like it and am happy I bought it — I”m kind of a tight wad with money, and at first I thought it was overpriced, but after using, I think it was priced OK.
The coarse and fine work great and as expected, however it is not dead flat. Great for sharpening knives or small chisels, but slightly concave on one side and convex on other.
Habe mir den Schleifstein gekauft, nachdem ich auf Youtube ein paar Videos dazu gesehen habe. Ich muss sagen, einfach Klasse. Alle meine verschiedenen Messer damit nachgeschliffen, scharf wie die Hlle.
Den Dreck mit Wasserschleifsteinen wollte ich nicht haben. Da ich schon einen Diamandschleifer fr unterwegs habe, wusste ich wie gut die Ergebnisse werden knnen. Muss mir zum Geburtstag noch den grob/sehr grob dazu holen, habe zwei alte Messer, die will ich noch nachschleifen.
Irgendwie bin ich mir nicht sicher. Ich bruchte noch grob und extra grob, sowie fein und extra fein. Fr den Preis wrde ich zig super schleifstein bekommen. Fr den Vorschliff habe ich mir 2 200er Steine geholt…6…. reicht. Ps. Ich will ja auch keine Wissens draus mache
Bin mir nicht siche

Worked how I hoped it would. Fine grit was suitable for kitchen knives Will probably order extra fine for back packing knife.

Piedra casi insuperable para un buen afilado yo la utilizo para afilar cuchillas de cepillos y formones y dejan un filo perfecto combinada con piedras de otros gramajes. Para mi son perfectas entre otras cosas porque no tengo que preocuparme de que se deforme como pasa con las piedras convencionales cuando se desgastan y luego tener que estar rectificandolas para que se mantengan totalmente lisas, estas sin embargo al ser una plancha de acero siempre se mantendr lisa y podrs sacar un filo totalmente recto y a noventa grados.
Didn’t dislike anything! I used this sharpener to edge several pocket knives as well as kitchen knives.

Puts a nice edge on my kitchen and camping knives. I used to use traditional Japanese whetstones, but whetstones are very high maintenance (i.e. require flattening/re-leveling, submerging in water before use, drying after use) and were more manually intensive (i.e. more passes or strokes) to achieve the same sharpness. With this DMT diamond bench stone, I can restore the edges to my knives much more easily and conveniently, and it takes much less effort to achieve the same or better result. Some might disagree, but I don't know why I tortured myself for so many years using traditional whetstones.

Easy to work with and does a super job sharpening every blade I have tried so far. Had to get used to sharp knives in the kitchen again, actually knicked myself a couple of times until I quit using my knives in a careless fashion.

Excelente producto
Calidad excepcional, al mantenerse siempre “plano” asegura un filo parejo en las cuchillas de garlopas y en los formones, para el acabado final es mejor utilizar una piedra.

I have 3 of these. Cutting rate goes down with use but continues to work. Best used submerged in a pan of water. Don't push too hard, doesn't help and bows the "stone."

Stone works great, very fast sharpening. Make sure you take the time to break it in.

leg on stand should have way to secure it to surface so I don't have to hold it in place. Otherwise it's everything they say it is.

Great as always! These things are always flat I mean flat flat. They don’t seem to wear out at all. I’m talking after the break in point. I love these things!

Das Ding ist einfach super. Als Koch habe ich mich jahrelang mit den blichen Scharfmachern wie Wetzstahl, Schleifsteine in verschiedenen Krnungen, Vidia schleifer, usw. abgemht und bekam nur schlechte Ergebnisse.
Wenn ich dann eimal die Messer ,und ich habe einige gute, zum schleifen brachte, sind sie zwar scharf, aber verhunzt und runtergeschliffen.
“Geht nicht anders?”
Doch geht.
DMT Macht es richtig, schnell mit wenig Abtrag, aber dafr gleichmig .
Ich habe so viel Spa damit das ich jetzt schon in der Nachbarschaft die Messer Schrfe .
DMT diamond plates are fantastic. I have the fine/super fine and just got the course/fine. They make very quick work of resharpening an edge. The fine/super fine are great for edge maintenance; about 10 swipes on so either side and a strop and your blade should be shaving sharp. The course is great for establishing a bevel. I also use these for sharpening plane irons and it does a fantastic job on those as well as knives.
Very happy with this sharpener. I use the coarse side to flatten my whet stones, the Japanese man made ones anyway. Flat, and fast cutting as advertised. Also I like the continuous strip at the bottom, use it for points and small tools.

I like it although I think the grits I wanted were extra coarse and extra fine.

Investigu un poco y al parecer este tipo de afiladores son unos de los preferidos de los chefs y excursionistas.
Los microdiamantes monocristalinos son ms corrosivos que las piedras naturales y su grano no es tan grueso. Inclusive usan otra unidad de medidas. La cara con el punto rojo es considerada “fino” en DMT y equivalente a un grano 600 o mediano en piedras naturales o artificiales.
El afilado es ms rpido y no rayan tanto.
Para granos de 1000 en adelante yo prefiero piedras artificiales japonesas.
Viene con una tabla de los calibres recomendados para afilar desde herramientas de jardinera hasta cocina.
La base es muy amplia y slida. Hay una gran cantidad de videos en youtube que contienen varias tcnicas para usar los “DMT diamond whetstones”.

It works. I think I will supplement with an extra fine stone too. The base is sturdy and holds the stone securely.

Have been using this mostly to keep a draw knife sharp during heavy use. Has been working very well. Was worried about the base a bit but no movement or rocking with a very heavy hand-forged tool. I appreciate the handle on the bottom, I use it to work on the bevel side.

Al ser diamantada la abrasin es rpida y efectiva, muy recomendable para conseguir rpidamente un buen filo. Si lo quieres perfecto puedes terminarlo con otro grano o con piedras de tipo japons
I am a wood and stone carver and it has helped me a lot to get the razor sharp edge that I need. The holder is plastic, but seems to work fine.

Just remember it needs to be broken in before you can expect the grits to be accurate. Also, the coarse side is not as coarse as you would expect, if you want to remove a lot of material (to form a primary bevel for instance), get something coarser or use something else. Definitely designed for pre-finishing.
Habe den DMT jetzt eine ganze Weile im Einsatz. Benutze ihn fr den Vorschliff und gehe am Ende mit meinen Wassersteinen nach. Man bekommt aber
alleine mit Ihm schon eine sehr gut brauchbare Schrfe hin.
Sehr gut auch das er sich nicht hohl schleift.
Wrde ich immer wieder kaufen und kann ihn Empfehlen.

Want sharp knives and tools? This is what you need.
I purchased the DMT WM8EF-WB 8-Inch DuoSharp Plus Bench Stone – Extra Fine/Fine With Base for many reasons. First of all, DMT is an excellent company that produces high quality diamond products. Second, it is dual sided so you get two stones for the price of one. Third, it was a great price. The only thing that might be of concern to some is when you push the end tabs of the holder down to “lock” the stone in place it bends the stone up in the center SLIGHTLY. I have used it with the stand WITHOUT locking it down and have no problem doing that. For that reason I give it only four stars. The stone by itself, five stars all the way.
I use this stone for sharpening large kitchen knives and also wood chisels and plane irons. I am very happy to have this in my collection.
Einfach perfekt zum Messerschrfen. Es ist zwar nicht gerade billig, aber wenn man bedenkt was ein guter Schleifstein kostet dann ist man davon nicht mehr weit entfernt. Hier kann man gleich trocken das Kchenmesser drberziehen und es wird Rassiermesserscharf.
Works just as expected. The plastic bench is not as sturdy as I thought it would be. I hope it holds up!

I let my knives go for a few years, just taking a steel to them once in awhile. This diamond plate brought them back and then some! I reprofiled two of them and sharpened the rest. Sharp enough to shave. And quickly! Sometimes it starts working more slowly but I just wipe it with a micro fiber cloth and it's as good as new.

…ist das Produkt wirklich gut. Damit ist ein Messer schnell wieder sehr scharf. Man darf allerdings nicht erwarten, dass hier der gleiche Schliff erreicht wird, wie z.B. mit japanischen Wassersteinen. Bei hochwertigen Kchenmessern wrde ich diese Art des Schrfens nicht anwenden, da doch einiges an Material abgetragen wird und kein so feiner Schliff, bzw. keine Politur wie bei 8.000er oder 10.000er Wassersteinen erreicht werden (kann). Der eigentliche Schleifkrper wird sicher und gummigelagert in der Schleifbank gehalten. Da wackelt nichts. Das Auswechseln ist auch recht einfach gemacht. Wie haltbar die ganze Einheit ist, wird die Zeit zeigen.
Good product and better than the stone sharpeners. The stone sharpeners takes too much time to sharpen a knife. These diamonds are quicker than the stone sharpeners to get a knife to a decent sharp. I have not reached the point of sharp on my knife by which you can shave your arm hair. I guess to reach to that point it will take more time to sharpen with these diamonds sharpeners. I hope it can last long.

and with steady hands and a bit of practice easy, way to fix or set an edge
I bought this with a course/medium stone. You have to be a bit careful with the coarse stones, they’ll chew metal away faster than you think.
That said, it’s a very fast, and with steady hands and a bit of practice easy, way to fix or set an edge. I used it on one of my older kitchen knives; much faster for fixing an edge than my water stones, though I still used the water stones once the edge was set to get an almost mirror-smooth edge.
I would probably get a 6″ one, knowing what I do now. The 8″ works fine, but can be a bit unweildy and the extra space isn’t really useful for even my 7″ chef’s knife.
Practice on a very old, dull knife. After a few tries, using these stones knife will be very sharp and ready to use. Good quality, good price. Will pay for itself within a year's use.

Très très satisfai
Je n’ai pas la pierre diamante depuis longtemps et je l’apprcie beaucoup, normment. Les gens qui se sont vervis des couteaux aprs afftage ont toutes eu la mme raction (woww ! Ils coupent tes couteaux). Cette pierre sera aussi tres utiles pour mes outils d’atelier, sciseaux a bois, rabots etc. Jean-Marc
Vorab eine kleine bersicht der Krnungen dieser DMT Platten:
Es handelt sich um ca. Angaben, manche Krnungen gibt es so nicht genormt aber die Zahl zeigt wo sie ungefhr liegen.
grob=45Mikron/ 325Mesh/ P320/ F235/ J360
fein=25Mikron /600Mesh/ P600/ F340/ J650
extra fein=9Mikron/ 1200Mesh/ P2500/ F700/ J2000
Ich habe jetzt schon einiges an Schrfzubehr (Tormek, Bandschleifer, Lansky, verschiedene Steine etc.) ausprobiert und muss sagen dieser DMT begeistert mich enorm.
Primr habe ich ihn in Fein/Extra Fein gekauft um meine Zwilling Cermax Kochmessersammlung mit ca. 66 HRC (z.B. Zwilling Twin Cermax Kochmesser, 200 mm (Pulverstahl, Micarta, genietet) schwarz mal eben schnell in der Kche nach zu schrfen und das funktioniert wie geschmiert.
Hrt sich allerdings nicht so an!!! 🙂
Das einzig negative was ich beim DMT gefunden habe, ist das kratzende Schleifgerusch welches er verursacht.
Aber nun zum schleifen:
Messer stumpf (schneidet nicht mal mehr den Kchenschwamm)
-> DMT auspacken, Schluck Wasser drauf, das Teil steht dank der Gummife die anfangs etwas chinesisch riechen bombenfest
-> 5x drber ziehen pro Messerseite Krnung Fein = 10 Zge
-> DMT Platte mit 2 Handgriffen umdrehen
-> 5x drber ziehen pro Messerseite Krnung Extra Fein = 10 Zge
-> 5x pro Seite Abziehen auf dem Lederriemen mit Polierpaste = 10 Zge
Messer rasiert innerhalb von 5 Minuten.
Der DMT erhlt meine absolute Empfehlung. Schnell, einfach, sicher.
Mikroausbrche lassen sich mhelos rausschleifen.
Fr grobe Kerben sollte dann aber schon was anderes her. z.B. der DMT in Grob oder halt schnell und einfach der Bandschleifer 🙂
Dank der enormen Gre von 152 x 67 mm auch fr groe Kchenmesser geeignet.
Be careful not to over-use this. It's a workhorse, it's aggressive, and it will remove material quickly.

I bought this after seeing a demonstration sharpening down at Woodcraft. I sometimes regret not getting the longer one but this sharpener works great for my chisels and such. According to Jerry at Woodcraft, the diamonds stay sharp forever. I also use it to polish my plane soles and to touch up my Starret square faces. The fine side really polishes metal well. A quality tool.

I really, REALLY enjoy sharpening my knives on this.
The Blue course / Red fine are really more like a medium and a medium fine. If I could have gone back I would have tried to get a Black (extra course) and Red (fine).
The base works well and will stick to a table even if the table is covered in water from sharpening. (push the base into the ta+ble and move it around a bit. This particular stone with the holes in between the diamond impregnated steel is better for larger knives, and is not quite as good for chisels on a honing guide. The continuous diamond zone can be good for finish chisels but is harder to fully sharpen them quickly.
After buying my first DMT stone, I bought 3 more and a portable one, and never went back to india stones or aluminum oxide, etc.
Very happy with the DuoSharp. I looked at a lot of sharpening systems before this but determined that I don’t sharpen things often and wanted something that was super simple. This fits the bill and has worked out perfectly. I used it to clean up some chisels and plane blades and they are all very sharp now. Glad I bought these.
As advertised. Fine ranking is a little more course than I'm used to but its a quality product.

Just fantastic! I have about a dozen knives to keep sharp in the restaurant, all different sizes, weights, and grades of steel. With this I can get to them all once or twice a week to keep them in good shape. Not quite razor sharp but certainly a good edge for what we need. With a little extra time I've managed to bring a couple of the knives to a very keen edge. What I like best about this is how easy it is to use. Splash a little water on in, sit down with a knife and in 3 to 5 minutes I've got a good edge again. I bought an angle guide to use with it but after some practice I've found it's not that hard to keep a consistent angle freehand, so never use the guide ( which didn't really work that well with the longer knives )

After doing some research it's obvious to me why they charge more then others. I highly recommend this product. Will do a great job on your knives, it did on mine.

I had a smaller DMT sharpening stone for 10+ years but sharpening kitchen knives on it was a bit of a hassle, due to its small size. This larger sharpening stone with two different grits is a really economical and efficient tool. It will quickly remove metal down to the angle you are sharpening at and then after removing two plastic clips the stone comes loose can be flipped, locked back in place with the clips and the edge can be refined with the finer grit side. The large size allows for a large area of contact and allows you to work on a larger portion of a blade at a time. Plus, it is easier to keep the two pieces at a consistent angle when they are larger. Would definitely purchase. again.
Great sharpener. It is super simple to use and is incredibly flat. Just a little bit of water and the occasional wipe down to remove the leavings and you can sharpen forever. I used it with the Robert Larson 800-1800 Honing Guide to completely rework 4 old chisels and my block plane. The combination resulted in better than new tools.
The only warning I’d give is that the “coarse” side is slow at removing a large amount of material. So reworking an entire face (like I had to do with the chisels and plane iron) will take some time and elbow grease. But it’s a good workout.
Purchased the Fine / Coarse DuoSharp about a year ago and it’s all I use on my kitchen and fixed blade knives. I also bought DMT’s extra fine stone which I finish off with a strop to get the hair splitting edge.
The base is a smart, efficient design and it securely holds the diamond stones in place. The rubber feet keep the base from moving and 8″ surface is ideal for large kitchen knives. Ever since I showed the wife how to maintain the edges, I haven’t needed to use the coarse side of the stones for a while. Properly maintaining your knives is crucial.
I have had friends that brought me completely dull knives and had to use the coarse side to help hone the edge profile quicker before I went to the finer grits.
Spraying the diamond stones with a little water provided me with better results and also helps me keep the surface clean.
Overall, I’m very happy with this set and I get quick, reliable results every time. Sharp knife = happy wife.
Zuallererst ist der Schrfstein natrlich alles andere als gnstig, aber mit der Hoffnung auf eine lange Nutzungsdauer und die stndig plane Oberflche habe ich ihn trotzdem bestellt.
Und bisher bin ich sehr zufrieden mit diesem Schrfstein (eigentlich sind es ja zwei wegen der unterschiedlichen Krnungen auf jeder Seite).
Mit meinen Wassersteinen hatte ich immer das Problem, dass diese sich mehr oder weniger schnell “rundschleifen” und es damit eher unmglich war, eine ordentlich gerade Schneide zu schrfen. Das mag beim “Kchenwerkzeug” nicht ganz so problematisch sein, aber bei Hobelklingen fr die Holzbearbeitung mu alles ordentlich plan sein. Also habe ich meine Wassersteine stndig neu abgerichtet, was mit der Zeit nervttend sein kann und auch zeitraubend ist.
Der DMT ist auch nach mehreren Monaten teils intensiver Nutzung immer noch schn plan und der Materialabtrag ist recht ordentlich (bei den ersten Malen der Nutzung war er aber noch hher, was aber auch so beschrieben war).
Ich habe mir mittlerweile noch einen zweiten DMT in grob/extra grob (coarse/extra coarse) zugelegt, da der hier rezensierte fein/extra fein(e) Schrfstein wirklich nur fr die Herstellung einer richtigen Schrfe vorgesehen/geeignet ist. Das Herausschleifen kleiner Macken oder Scharten aus der Schneide eines Messers oder Hobels dauert damit natrlich viel zu lange und geht dann bestimmt auch auf die Haltbarkeit des Steines.
Zusammenfassend bin ich also sehr zufrieden mit dem DMT und wrde ihn nicht nur wieder kaufen, sondern habe es bereits (in anderer Krnung) getan.
Update vom 04.01.2018 und ein Punkt Abzug:
Ich bin mittlerweile bei 3 DMT’s mit insgesamt 5 verschiedenen Krnungen (2 Duos und ein einseitiger) angelangt und jetzt wieder auf Wassersteine umgestiegen. Da habe ich mir allerdings einige neue mit extra harter Bindung zugelegt, die sich nur sehr langsam “rundschleifen” und deshalb nur sehr selten abgerichtet werden mssen.
Der Grund fr den Wechsel ist die nachlassende Schleifwirkung des DMT, die dann natrlich auch nicht wiederhergestellt werden kann.
Ein Wasserstein ist immer wie neu, weil whrend des Schleifens stndig neue Schleifpartikel freigelegt werden.
Klar ist der DMT mit Diamanten bestckt, aber gerade bei hufiger Anwendung (nicht nur alle paar Monate mal in der Kche, sondern fast wchentlich in der Werkstatt und dann meist an mehreren Hobelmessern und Stechbeiteln) lsst die Schleifwirkung MERKLICH nach. Auerdem ist man angewiesen, mehrere Steine in unterschiedlichen Krnungen vorzuhalten, was dann bei dem Preis richtig ungnstig wird. Natrlich kann man eine kleine Scharte im Werkzeug auch mit einem feineren Stein ausschleifen, aber dann nutzt man dessen Schleifpartikel noch schneller ab, also lieber einen Grberen dafr benutzen. Habe zum Teil mit relativ grobem Endlosschleifpapier vorgearbeitet, um die DMT’s zu schonen. Mein “fein/extra fein” ist mittlerweile so abgenutzt, dass er eigentlich nur noch zum Polieren reicht.
Im direkten Vergleich sind zwei gute Wassersteine (weil ein DuoSharp-Stein ja auch zwei unterschiedliche Krnungen aufweist) vielleicht vergleichbar teuer, aber sie halten auf jeden Fall lnger durch! Man muss nur darauf achten, welche mit harter Bindung zu kaufen, die sich nicht so schnell ausschleifen.
In short: I had to use a diamond stone to flatten my water stones, so why not use diamond stones for the entirety of my honing process? After a lot of reading on what grit of DMT stone I needed to mirror my old waterstone process, I finally settled on this as the centerpiece of my workflow. And I couldn’t be happier. The results I get equal my previous waterstone set-up, and I spend a lot less time and hassle getting there.
I highly recommend buying this set-up, in addition to a DMT course stone. With those 3 grits, and a honing strop, you’ll easily equal a 10k+ waterstone produced edge and spend a lot less time re-setting bevels, or removing large imperfections.
With the four DMT stones Extra Course/Course/Fine/Extra Fine, I was able to restore a #6 Siegler Plane I picked up at the Flea market for $10. I've never restored a plane before, and the blade on this one was chipped pretty bad. After about 30 minutes working through the stones with a honing guide, I just got my first full width shaving on the first plane I ever owned. Love these stones!!! (Now time to see what they can do for chisels.)

I was going to buy a new paring knife but I decided to try this first. I watched a few YouTube instruction videos and then sharpened all my non-serrated kitchen knives. I can now easily slice soft tomatoes. The fine/ultrafine is all you will need unless your blades are nicked up. The included stand is helpful and has rubber feet to prevent slipping. Very easy and quick to sharpen and maintain your knives.
Great stone, works quickly and easily. No more paying to have my knives sharpened, and can be used to sharpen about any edge. All my kitchen knives, camping knives, fillet knife, pocket knives, multi-tools, machete, Swiss Army knives, etc… remain razor sharp (and therefor safer!) year round! Indispensable tool built for a lifetime of use, therefor saving money. Great investment.
Bail on your waterstones!
What a great tool! I use this on my plane irons, chisels, and kitchen knives and have nothing but love for it. Unless your blades are damaged (big chips or nicks) or you want to reset the angle of a bevel on your plane iron, this is probably the only sharpening tool you’ll need. I have a set of Norton waterstones that I’ve been using for a little over a year but they have worn down very quickly and get out of square easily even with diligent use of a flattening stone. I needed something else for my woodworking tools.
The DMT DuoSharp is very, very quick–no mess, easy to use. I used to take my blades over to the Norton waterstone 8000 grit to put a final finish on them after using the DuoSharp, but honestly, now I just strop my blades after using the Green “very fine” side of the DMT stone. Your blades come out razor sharp in two minutes or less if you know what you’re doing.
Get this for sharpening, you won’t be sorry!
