DMT D10F 10-Inch Dia-Sharp Fine Bench Stone – Clear
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.

Great size stone, little bit praise but to me worth every penny.
Is good to use, very flat and sharpens quite well with my Damascus knife
I’m sharpening everything in my shop with a series of these.
There are many ways to achieve sharp tools, but the DMT stones surely are among the best. No mess and daily wear with the need to flatten often (as with waterstones, of which I’ve used the older softer ones, and the newer harder ones), and these DMT products cut faster and better than traditional oil stones.
Works as advertised. Very flat and true. Careful not to bang the edges on hard objects as it will displace the base metal and make a high spot on the diamond surface.
Not sure how long it will hold up, but I’ve been using it pretty extensive over the last year and it seems to be holding up. A few areas seem to be “worn” more than others, but still have some cut to them.
The “stone” is actually a block of aluminum billet with one surface having the diamond surface applied. What? you say Al is a light metal? Sure. Ever picked up a 4″ x 10″ by 3/8″ piece? Not so light!
If you have a flat surface available (such as a scrap piece of cut & polished marble (1/2″ thick), you really don’t need a holder. Just use some non-slip material between the DMT and the surface. Even a wet paper towel will work. The DMT comes with 4 non-slip rubber feet but I am cautious about only using 4. AL at this thickness will deform slightly with pressure and I’d rather be safe than sharpen a plane iron with a convex shape. 8 or 12 feetsies should be OK with a 10″ stone. Or just rely on your flat marble!
Yikes! 4″ wide! The alternative is 2.5″ wide and a little longer. 2.5″ is getting a bit skimpy for some of my plane blades. I’d rather have the greater width. And my long spoke shave blades can be tidied up by going across the narrow dimensions.
And…amazingly…you won’t ever have to flatten these puppies! That’s a big time saver, as I usually flatten my water stones after about 10 minutes of use.
I’ll also recommend Veritas’s MK.II Honing Guide. Makes irons and chisels SCARY SHARP! My fingers prove it!
Nice products!
