DMT D6FC 6-Inch Dia-Sharp Double Sided Fine/Coarse Bench Stone – 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

Ich schleife schon seit vielen Jahren Messer und vieles mehr. Frher hatte ich die normalen Schleifsteine. Was fr eine Arbeit das immer gewesen ist. Erst ins Wasser dann Schleifen, danach den Schleifstein wieder glatt Schleifen, und dann noch den ganzen Schmutz weg machen.
Diamant Steine, aber nur von DMT, sind da einfach klasse. Sie sind zwar erstmal teuer, aber gesehen auf die Menge der Messer die man mit einen Schleifstein Schrfen kann, ist es genau genommen billig. Dazu legt man nur eine Zeitung unter, und kann beim Schrfen noch gemtlich Fernsehen.
Kauft aber keine billigen Diamantsteine aus China. DMT ist das beste was es gibt. Ich kaufe immer ber den Anbieter Schmiedeglut. Dort hat man auch einen guten Service.
Firstly, I’ve been using DMT products for a very long time. I originally bought their products at Langevin & Forest when started cabinetmaking. Since then I’ve been using the cards and the mini-hone kit for a significant number of small tool sharpening, and the dual-sided fine/x-fine for a ridiculous number of sharpenings, and it still works. I’ve sharpened dozens of tungsten-carbide cutting tools on it and saved one of my employers hundreds of dollars, maybe more than hundreds, with it. DMT has never let me down and has done so much for my hobbies, and I’ve recommended it to around a dozen buddies. Normally I remove lots of material with some of the many industrial rolls of sanding-belt sandpapers that had been thrown away at one of my works. This works very well for most all of my tools. However I was searching for a more portable solution to help me sharpen my friends’ knives without toting a handful of concealed blades through the metros and buses to get home, and then do it again. I tried the Chef’s Choice 130. It works very well for just about anything, especially very dull knives, but I can get a better edge on a knife in not much more time with the right equipment, and I can get shape a knife better, and get the criss-crossed tooth / cutting pattern that I find grips while cutting in both directions better and cuts tomato skins better. So I went with this for the very dull knives, and will still tote my fine/-x-fine along with it. I just got this one in the mail today, all giddy for a new toy.. and what I found was a lip on the coarse side. If it was the x-coarse side, meh, the coarse side would remove any damage after. But it is on the coarse side. I have already spent a few minutes grinding that lip down so it cannot do any damage or cause extra time on the fine/x-fine “stone.” But for the cost of DMT products, I wasn’t expecting a lip. I don’t care unduly, but for the cost of DMT products I expect full coverage of a side, and no darn lip! The coarse side has a section the width of the lip in the picture that goes all the way around just that one side, and that section has little to no diamond on it. This feels like a budget cut! I doubt it’ll add more than a few minutes work to my entire life due to the small lack of diamonds, but still.
Works well for my chisels, was happy with wet stones but they cave to quick, this has solved that problem, very happy.
Some stainless knives don’t take an edge, but this can make them usable.
Leider kam es wegen eines Kommunikationsfehler zwischen Amazon und der Firma zu einer Falschlieferung. Das Problem konnte dank eines Telefonates schnelll gelst werden. Das Schleifmittel funktioniert sehr gut.
This seems to be very good. There were a few bumps that stick out but that was expected because I did my research and already knew that it requires you to break it in. It works well but I haven’t gotten anything super sharp yet because I need to practice keeping the blade at the right angle. It was slightly different than I expected because it just looks like a small metal slab and I haven’t seen one like this before.
I use DMT dia sharp stones (D8 120, 320, 600 and 1200 grit variants) for about 10 years to sharpen a large range of knives (usually having hardness of 57 or over on Rockwell C scale). Still no significant traces of wear on them. So far those metal plates are the best sharpening stones I’ve found. Well worth the money
Wow! I’ve been wasting time with my water stones. This is my first diamond stone. It’s great. I got it to touch up my turning tools between grindings. I keep it in the chest pocket of my apron. I can’t believe how quick it removes material. Buy it!
I am a woodworker (Hobby) and I have tried various ways to sharpen my chisels and planes.
I used an oil stone but found it to be not very flat with poor results.
I used waterpapers up to 2000 grit and got good results but the papers didnt last long and it was time consuming and messy.
Then I bought a cheap diamond plate and it worked well for about 2 months and then the diamond coated vinyl coating lifted off the backing stone and became totally useless.
I decided it was time spend a bit more money and buy the DMT diamond Stone.
Its flat and strong and doesnt bend, its cuts fast and clean, and it works well with just water.
I highly recommend i
I used the wet/dry sandpaper method of sharpening my edged tools (chisels, plane iron, etc.) and it did the job but it required a lot of work; (20+ passes with a lot of holding pressure). With this stone it reduced the passes needed down to 5 and with minimal holding pressure. I would also say it allows the user the ability to better hone the skill of sharpening by hand (no guide) because of how efficiently it does its job. Bottom line its an amazing diamond stone at a great price!
Feel – [10/10] This stone just feels like a quality product. Also, it is very responsive and feels great when sharpening
Functionality – [10/10] The “fine” side of this stone is rated at 25 micron (~800 grit) which is great because it can remove a good amount of material fairly quickly while providing a very workable edge.
I sharpened my Para 3 in S110V steel (known for being extremely difficult to sharpen) in about 10 minutes. The knife was dull (hardly shaving any hair) and after using the “fine” side and stropping on 5micron and 2.5micron diamond paste, the edge would easily shave. After that i tried out the “extra-fine” side; which worked amazingly. The “extra-fine” side left the knife hair-popping sharp straight off of the stone! (I used a push-pull method to form a burr on both sides then forward strokes alternating sides each stroke to remove the burr). After the stone i brought the knife to my 2.5 and 0.5 micron diamond paste strops and the edge was mind-blowing. It will shave hair without any pressure (just the weight of the knife) and even cut a single piece of hair in half while it is hanging.
In conclusion, this stone is excellent. It works for establishing bevels as well as taking them to shaving sharp. This stone is truly the only stone you’ll ever need.
And if it’ll cut s110v in ~15 minutes… It’ll cut any steel for any knife, axe, chisel, plane, anything.
Thank you for reading, hopefully this was helpful.
I bought both the x coarse / coarse and x fine / fine kits. Best “stones” I’ve ever used
DMT makes good sharpeners. They’re the best I’ve used. They’re solid (wouldn’t want liquid ones, I reckon), and they work well for putting an edge on my carving tools. I’d like one that’d let me sharpen the inside bevel on my hook knife, and my bowl-turning hook.
Tut was sie soll und extra fine ist fr Gastro Kche allemal ausreichend. Bei Bedarf mit dem Leder nacharbeiten und gut.
Sie luft an wenn sie lnger mit Sure in Kontakt kommt( Tomatensaft)
Flat, aggressive plate. Such a pleasure to use.
I would use it with liquid though. Besides the smell while sharpening dry, something doesn’t click right.
DMT plates followed by a Spyderco Ultrafine stone, then diamond strops. Best sharpening progression in the business for modern super steels.
Great product! Not sure why I tried other stones first.
They are great unfortunately I ordered the wrong size for my plane irons. And the extra course seemed to wear out quickly
This is a quality product. Compared to other products I’ve bought this one is by far my favourite. It’s big, it’s heav, and made with quality metal and I’m sure is going to last a long time…. I will be purchasing a few more to have a variety of grits.
My wood chisels and knives are literally sharp enough to shave. Works very quickly to touch up wood chisels and smoothing plane blades to “hiss” sharpness with a strop. Much faster and easier than maintaining/dressing a final stone.
This stone has been working very well for me for quite a while now – been sharpening knifes, chisels, plane-blades and more. The stone holds up to it’s high expectations.
it does sharpen things. the extra fine must be in the 600-1200 range–thta would be my guess
Came flat Has marks Im not concerned about it cut a couple of ceramic blades I had stopped using fast . My very sharp EDC is now frighteningly sharp Fine extra fine combo is awesome 4 me. Great gift for your dull friends .
love it, definitely a good combo to have extra coarse , and then skip the coarse to jump to fine. Sharpening happens just as effectively. Also much better alternative than the Japanese water stones with this coarseness as the coarser Japanese stones get used up very quickly, where as this lasts virtually forever.
Works better than expected. Sharpens my carving knives very fas
Great stone for sharpening wood carving chisels. These DMT stones are reportedly hard enough to last a lifetime and one can stop having to flatten and deal with messy water stones.
Great for commercial use. Just wish it was a Lil thicker so my knuckles doesn’t drag across the table
The quality of this DMT tool is exactly as I expected it, and it’s great. Just as they warned, there were finer points at first and it bit more, but after sharpening a few tungsten carbide machine blades and bits on it, this thing’s working exactly as I expected of it, and that’s precisely what quality delivers. I also always use the diasharps because I love the quality, the weight of it, and I sharpen all sizes and shapes of blades that I can, including very small ones. I will soon add more DMT tools to my collection.
This isn’t my first of such DMT tools either, though the others were purchased in a store. Several years down the line, the credit card sharpeners, and mini-hones have helped me sharpen chef’s knives, delivered a set of extra-sharp ceramic knives as a gift to said chef who was quite pleased, they have helped me sharpen over 2 pairs of tungsten-carbide machine blades around 14 times each (I’ve sinced upgraded to this tool) and a great many woodworking tools. Sadly the tungset-carbide blades have worn down the credit card sharpeners a little bit over time but still they work more-or-less as they should.
Although I have used all of these tools without oil or water, it is my preference to use oils, a thicker oil for the rougher grits such as the extra-coarse, and a finer oil for the finer grits while sharpening. I always clean up with a heavy oil on all grits to clean up after, as it picks the metal out of the grits like a vacuum on a carpet, and one credit card was rendered unusable until I cleaned it 4 times with oil because so much tungsten-carbide dust collected between the grits that it was no longer gritty.
Excellent sharpening stone. Because the abrasive is diamond, it can cut vanadium carbides that are present in common “super” steels such as CPM 3V, CPM S30V, and CPM S35VN. Many people say sharpening those steels takes a while, and the edge doesn’t last very long, but that’s because they are sharpening with abrasives that are softer (has a lower Rockwell hardness) than the vanadium carbides, and because of this, the vanadium carbides do not get sharpened, only the steel matrix around it does, so the carbides fall out. The whole purpose of vanadium carbides is that they are very hard, while means that they will hold an edge for a very long time IF SHARPENED. If you want to sharpen a steel that has vanadium carbides, make sure you get a diamond stone!
I also got the plastic base sold by DMT that is compatible with this (and any other 6″ stone) and they work great together!
Very nice quality product like all the dia-sharp stones. It is a perfect size for carrying in my tool bag for touching up chisels or plane blades when I am away from the shop.
Bought this for sharpening chisels. Love it so much I also bought a coarse/extra coarse stone.
All the advantages of a stone with all the advantages of sandpaper on glass. Highly recommend.
I bought the fine/extra fine stone, and after truing up some bad plane soles and chisels, I got this one as well. All the advantages of stones with all the advantages of sandpaper on glass.
Love this tool. gets my kitchen knives super sharp. Great for pocket knives too.
What’s not to like. You never have to re-flaten it and it holds up for a very long time as long as you lubricate it with simple green or WD40.
very good product. used it a few times and reall makes my chisels sharp.
Amazing.
When even your wife is happy that you bought a knife sharpener, you know it stands for it.
Sharpens kitchen knives in no time.
Works very well but I would spring for the 8″ one next time because the 6″ is a tight fit for plane irons.
Previous buyer and present user of different DMT sharpeners. Bought this smaller 6″ for folders and smaller knives. Works great with the Duo Base as well. These things are just simply incredible. It makes sharpening easier and enjoyable.
These are awesome. Worth the extra money for this stone. Got this one and the ‘fine/extra fine’ as well. Using all four surfaces withe the sharpener makes for some pretty sharp blades.
If you haven’t used diamond stones before the DMT stones are very well made. I’m sticking with them for future purchases!
These double sided plates are the way to go. They stay flat and save space and once they mellow out put a true razor edge on any chisel or plane blade.
I do custom leather work and use a variety of cutting tools including round knives which can be extremely challenging to bring to a keen and near surgical edge. I purchased two double sided DMT stones, an extra coarse/coarse and a fine/extra fine, and I was thoroughly pleased with the results after sharpening my knives. Next will be my punches. Even my Kershaw daily carry pocket knife has an edge sharp enough I can skive a whisper thin curl of leather with it.
They’re a tiny bit bumpy at first as explained on the packaging but that disappeared in no time. By the time I finished sharpening my knives with these for the first time I felt I was getting better with them and went back and touched up the others to an even sharper edge. Even though I am quite used to using sharpening stones I have never felt as certain when making a bevel with them as I do with these.
These DMT stones were worth every penny.
Goods: Sharpen faster and stay flat.
Cons: Little missing of diamond (My humble opinion) on one side.
Overall, this is a must for every loving sharpener!
Removes material super fast, after breaking in this diamond stone with a couple beater knives I reprofiled my spyderco paramilitary 2 with this and the coarse/extra coarse diamond stone and its screaming sharp!

Excellent product, especially when used in conjunction with the Ultimate Sharpening Jig by Very Super Cool Tools.
Cuts fast and flat. A great addition to my finer water stones.
I will say of all the different types of steel I’ve sharpened with this stone, none of them were too hard to be cleaned up and taken to a fine edge. Razor sharp results can be obtained using the extra-fine side, save the occasional nick here and there. To get “stupid” sharp edges, a few passes on a ceramic or glass rod can make most knives too sharp to hand over to your wife or buddy.
I recommend this stone to the experienced woodworker or ninja chef who wants a keen, but slightly imperfect edge on their tools.
Knives will cut paper and shave hair !! Got it for a gift and he loves it!! I’d buy agai
Was watching a You Tube video about keeping the tools of the trade sharp and asked what grit they were using, theirs was labeled fine and one sided with rubber feet to keep it from sliding. This is twice as good, fine one side and extra fine on the flip side, I just got some dollar store round ‘shelf liner’ disks and does not move about.
As noted by others and also on the package it requires a bit of break-in so before going after my good cutlery I set it on my counter, gave it a spray of water and sharpened a lockback knife I had found in the cupboard when I bought my house 2 years ago, it had been abused and looked like the previous owner had ‘sharpened’ it on a cinder block! It was BAD! Five min later honing it on the fine side it was slicing about half the blade length through a sheet of paper, not bad considering I have really never gotten a good edge on anything using a oilstone – arkansas stone combo. So another min on the fine side and flip to the extra fine side that beat up Shrade “Uncle Henry” was pulling a slice the length of the blade plus some. (It also broke in the block smoothing off any high bits)
Touched up my 10″ chef knife and it is as sharp as it was 2 years ago when I got it.
Takes a bit of practice and a steady hand to maintain the correct angle but this is the best sharpening “Stone” I have ever had!
This is not a stone, but a diamond coated plate of very flat steel. I love this unit, and it puts my water stones to shame, The stone must always be dresses to keep them flat, and the $$ I have invested in them is far beyond what I would have spent had I simply picked up a few of these. Well, I did not know they even existed till a few weeks ago. As soon as I can, I will be purchasing the course and extra course plate… and at that point I will have everything I need simple and sweet!
I purchased this diamond stone when I ordered the Ka-Bar, D2 fighting/utility knife- it was recommended to use a diamond stone for the D-2 steel knives from Ka-Bar- they were correct- when I first tried to use my Arkansas oil stones, the blade just slid over the surface w/ no sharpening action- the D-2 steel requires a very hard aggregate to produce any sharpening effect- the DMT fine side did a very through job in producing the needed cutting action for this very hard steel- the extra-fine side does a wonderful job, polishing the edge to produce a razor edge-I have since used the stone on all my cutting tools, as a 30+ year woodworker, my chisels, router bits, plane irons and marking knife all have seen the face of this top quality stone – my hunting knives as well as my mothers kitchen knives, all get a “fast” glance across this stone-at first the price was a concern, but the time saved is well worth the price- give any of the DMT products a shot (I have) & all perform very well- thanks Amazon for the good quality reviews that help me find just what I need
The price of this two-sided sharpening stone is a bit high, although one should be aware that it has two usable sides unlike other models with just one. I’m happy so far and assume that it will last at least a few decades like my older DMT stone has.
This product is a bit pricey but worth it. Having both extra coarse and coarse grits will save you time in reshaping a blade or tool’s edge.
I was completely new to sharpening blades with stones. After receiving DMT Dia-Sharp and watching a few tutorials on youtube, I was able to get my knives razor sharp! I practiced on a cheap knife first and after only 6 draws on each side I could shave with it. I highly recommend this stone to everyone. Now all of my friends are asking me to sharpen their blades. Couldn’t be more happy with this purchase! Just make sure to keep a consistent angle ~20 degrees, and with moderate pressure this thing will let you cut through just about anything like butter.
very nice product , only a few passes on both sides and you’ll have a very sharp knife , chisel or plane blade . super happy !!!
Great price.great stone to use, you do not have to worry about keeping it flat, cuts very quickly.The double sides makes it even more versatile.Just wish I had the funds to buy the larger size, but if you are on a budget like me then this is the diamond stone to go fo

DMT stones are great sharpening stones! They are great for both sharpening your cutlery and for flattening waterstones. I personally use mine for both and they work great! DMT guarantees that their stones are flat, and the best part is that they STAY FLAT. Highly recommended.
First time user of Diamond over stones. Sharpened quicker and flatter using the Extra Coarse/Coarse Fine and a General Tools 809 Chisel/Plane Blade Sharpener method.Didnt need to go to Extra fine as this was way sharper already than what Id ever had it. The only question remaining is how long the Diamonds will last.
It is not so bad diamond stone, little rusty, but is washable, I use for quick sharpening graver and a knifes and incisor for wax carving.
