The most medium!

I purchased the 8 inch dia-sharp double sided medium extra fine / extra extra fine plate, (that sure is a mouth full) and have been really pleased with it as an option in progressions. I’ve used it for finishing after coarser diamond plates, and also to better bridge diamond plates and ceramic wet stones (that’s always a thing). The plate has been breaking in nicely, but just a FYI, they break it in a little at the factory. I was confused when I took it out of the packaging as to why it looked like someone had used it, until I read the info card it came with.

Sounds like you've got a great setup! Part of the reason why the plates look that way is the incredibly small size of the diamonds. There are slight imperfections on the steel plate and they show through the diamond layer. The 4000-grit diamonds are just 6µm (microns) and the 8000-grit diamonds are 3µm. To put that in perspective, red blood cells have a diameter of about 7-8µm.

Nothing sharpens better than DMT

Gotta get me a 8in. Love to sharpen my knives

I´m really curious about the 4000 and 8000 grit diasharp but multiple people made the claim that in these ultra fine grits the diamonds aren´t embedded in a nickel layer but just glued on. Can you deny or confirm that?

Seems like DMT is the goto for stones. I don't have any, but have read a ton and they always pop up, whether it's full sized stones or smaller field sized with sheaths. Thanks for showing them, I hope you get your medium grit wishes this year. YMCA, oh wait, DMT's great.

DMT have a huge range of sharpening products, so it's not surprise you've come across them. Still no extra extra medium though...

is dmt better than atoma, trend, ultrasharp and other brands?

I purchased the "extra extra fine" plate and it said in the literature included it was equivalent to 30,000 grit. It is as smooth as bare metal, but I can hear it lightly cut.

Interesting, I'm not sure where it says that in the DMT literature. The extra extra fine uses 3 micron / 8000 mesh diamond abrasives. Grit and mesh tend to line up pretty close.

@@SharpeningSupplies Thank you for your reply. I stand corrected. I went and found the DMT paperwork and it indeed states 3 micron/8000 grit. So I guess what I'm after is a hone between 1200 and 8000. Thanks again.

I just got one of these! Really excited to use it on my high carbon knives, can you let us know how long the sale is on for? I am planning on getting another on the 7th of March.

Sign me up for that 2X medium grit when it comes in, but the one I really want is the 8X coarse. I hear it will have just the hope diamond mounted in the center of the steel plate. I bought the dia sharp set along with the 2X fine when it first came out. My pocket knife has never been so sharp, and today I was noticing the mirror finish on the edge of my wood lathe skew. Diamonds aren't just for the ladies any more.

We'll chat with the Smithsonian and see if they'll let us sharpen some knives on their $300 million diamond.

weird how a month later now all versions appear on DMT original shop price but does on your site. Somewhat confusing/puzzling. Anyway I'm buying a new knife so I'll consider the new grits (I already have the 6" coarse, fine & extra fine)

Will DMT ever make vitrified diamond stones. Like venev naniwa or BigBrownBear?

That's a great suggestion. I haven't heard anything that suggests they are, but DMT is pretty good at listening to suggestions. I'll pass your idea along to them.

As someone who is just starting out, any advice on choosing between the duo-sharp and dia-sharp options? My use is just kitchen knives that are already in reasonable shape.

@SharpeningSupplies

5 ай бұрын

The big difference is that the Duo-Sharp won't clog up as quick, while the Dia-Sharp will sharpen a little quicker. If you're just starting out, I'd recommend the Dia-Sharp, as they're a little easier to sharpen on.

I've 2 of the 8". Quite the chunk of steel. ~ What type of steel is used as the base should I ever wear it out, and maybe repurpose it?

@SharpeningSupplies

4 ай бұрын

We don't know what kind of steel DMT uses for the base, but if you do repurpose one, what would you want to make from it?

I have a dmt diamond plate and about 1/4 of the surface simply has no diamond on it. Very disappointed with this. I have some cheap China diamond plates that have been working for more than 2 years and they're all works fine to me.

How much price

still wont polish like oil or waterstone

Absolutely. But having a high grit diamond stone that can handle super steels is a nice option.

I bought the extra extra fine and the surface was all diged up, pakage seemd new and un damaged, is that normal? because I see in the rflection some of that in your stones too

@SharpeningSupplies

Жыл бұрын

Yes, that's normal. It was a bit of a surprise to us too when we first unboxed them. What you're seeing are scratches in the metal plate, not damage to the diamond surface above it. Part of the reason why the plates look that way is the incredibly small size of the diamonds. The extra extra fine (8000-grit) diamonds are 3µm. To put that in perspective, red blood cells have a diameter of about 7-8µm. So you're seeing through the diamond layer to the metal plate underneath. But if you have any concerns, feel free to contact our customer service and we'll do our best to help you out.
