DMT WM8CX-WB Coarse/Extra-Coarse Duo Sharp Plus Bench Stone with Base, Grey, 8-Inch
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

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

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.

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!

Super Teil. Kein Vergleich zu Schleifsteinen. Dann noch bers Leder abziehen und Sie knnen sich rasieren.
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.
Great sharpener and easy to use knives never been bette

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

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.
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!

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.

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”.

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.

This made me realize that what I thought was sharp was not sharp. I use this to sharpen chisels and plane blades. The results are fantastic. I finish with a leather strap and get razor sharp edges.

It's wide and long and feels of good quality. Sharpens fast. The stand works pretty good. It holds the sharpener tight. It moves a little as you sharpen. I would recommend this diamond sharpener.

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 reshaped the bevels, sharpened, and stropped 2 hatchets to a shaving sharp edge in less than 30 minutes. Kitchen knives only required a few strokes on the fine side.

This diamond bench stone has immediately replaced my older and far more troublesome Japanese water stones. The water stones require a lot of fluid to use, break very easily, need to be re-flattened with extensive use and are generally sort of a mess. The 8000 grit waterstone gives a better finish than this stone but it's really soft and easy to gouge. Overall, this DMT diamond stone wins the contest for performance, durability, ease of use and overall utility

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.
This sharpener is awesome. You can get a razor sharp edge much faster than with regular wet stones or oil stones. It is very good for maintaining an already sharp edge.

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.
Excellent product very fast sharpening, I bought Fine & Extra Fine and it was the right choice. I will get rid of my stones and never miss them.

…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.
This sharpener is awesome, heavy duty, fast cutting, cleans easy I'm going to order the corse plate too. I'm happy with i

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.

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 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.
This stone is so great! Perfect size and high quality. What a pleasure to use. I am very happy I bought it! Dont think about it just get one, you wont regret it!

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 )

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.
I have only sharpened two chisels a plane blade and the diamond surface works great. Flipping the stone is easy but it seems to me there could be an even easier way to do this with spring tension. Time will tell on how long the plastic retainers last that hold the stone. The rubber feet slipped some on my bench but not a lot. I also bought the coarse and extra coarse stone to have a complete set.

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.
it was easy to use and I got sharp knives now

Works as described and it's easy to catch the hang of. Restore your blades to surgical sharpness. I have all of them now starting with coarser one and graduating to extra fine. Made in the USA and I recommend it.

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.
Very good diamond sharpener. Larger size helps with bigger knives

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.
This product is excellent. By following the directions all my knives are super-sharp now. The large surface area is perfect for my longer knives.

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.)

Great for my plane blades and chisels. In conjunction with green buffing compound, it leaves my blades very sharp. For the price it is a really good purchase

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.
Fantastic sharpening stone from a well known company in the industry.. Excellent tool and a must have for anyone who sharpens their own knives

Having used Arkansas and Japanese water stones for years, I was very pleased at just how fast and easy this diamond stone works. In additions, there's very little cleanup or mess. I would highly recommend you try this product.

Awesome diamond sharpening system. Little pricey, but does an awesome job.

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!
Diamond stone
I use this diamond stone in my business, works great….I recommend this to all my clients.

Finally! I’m finally happy with the edge on my Spyderco Dragonfly. The blade is VG-10 and I’ve never been happy with it until I got this stone.
I tried regular stones, drag-through sharpeners, and an off-brand diamond. I tried fancy sharpening systems on display in the major sporting good store. Every time it would roll the edge, or just plain not get a cut on this blade. This stone from DMT did perfectly, and fast!
I bought this to sharpen my kitchen knives. I have Global knives they are professional knives but they dull quickly, I love to cook and I like my knives to be sharp with this I will keep my knives sharp and ready to go. Highly recommended.

The bench stone is well built and easy to work with. I like the fact that this product gives me a "stone" that is much wider than the typical stone.

Received two times a coarse + fine, labeled as fine+extra fine, but i'm tired of shipping back, so i kept it. Great quality though!

Wow, what a time saver. Quickly restores any neglected blade. Bench is great and I have experienced zero slippage. 8in stone seems the perfect size for the most utility and accommodates the majority of blade lengths with ease.

Super nice stone. I have a box full that I use for kitchen, hunting and butchering knives. Decided I would spend the money for a high(er) end stone and base. I love it. You can feel and hear the difference with the first swipe. The stand is plastic with quick release clips to flip the stone. Does not move at all while using on a standard countertop. If the clips actually last several years, it will be an even better value. No oil is a plus, especially for a quick touch up during butchering… just swipe, wipe and continue cutting. The coarse/fine ratting isn’t really standard compared to most others. I would say medium/fine would be more accurate. An extra coarse/extra fine stone would be a perfect mate. Probably can see that in the future. Wouldn’t hesitate to spend the money again.
Bought these after returning the DMT continuous diamond stone that I purchased earlier. Very happy with this product. Glad I gave DMT a second chance. **No rust on the stone the day after like the continuous stone I bought!**

okay stone
I bought it for lapping and bevel setting, but when I lap shapton 220 with the coarse side of dmt, there were significant wears on the diamond. I suggest if you buy it for flattening, please do not flatten stones that coarser than the 325 grit/mesh. For the fine size (600 mesh), is really scratchy, for me is a definitely no no for my japanese knives and straight razors (has to refine on water stones), but for average home cook maybe is enough
The cons is of course quite expensive…..
I use this to sharpen my kitchen knives. I was able to take an old dull knife and with some work make it nice and sharp again. It is easy to use and cleanup is minimal. I'm very happy with i

I purchased this dual sided diamond stone to replace an old one I've had for years. It is an excellent product with a well designed base that allows you to flip the stone from coarse to fine easily. I use the stone to do the initial sharpening on my chisels and plane blades before taking them to my water stones. I have save my old diamond plate to keep my water stones flat.

Amazing how quickly it takes knives to a sharper point than they ever were.

DMT stone is the best...love it..Get one!
Second purchase of the same exact bench diamond part. Works extremely well. You must remember not to push down too hard on your blade as you use this. Let the diamonds do the work. Very light pressure only. I had to get another one of these and another stand alone coarse just because I was used to using a stone and pushed down too hard. My old fine flat is now “extra fine” LOL.
This product is the WAY TO GO when it comes to sharpening your kitchen blades, or pocket knives. Its worth every penny. I strongly recommend the DMT products. The cost may seem a bit high, but if you use light pressure and keep the flat wet, this part will last you for years if not decades. Get it!
My Knives are amazing!!!!! nice since I have pll coming over more for club meetings.
