DMT Difference
DMT uses micronized monocrystalline diamonds precisely sized for a more uniform diamond surface. No other diamond sharpeners offer micronized monocrystalline diamonds, and most offer the lesser grade poly-crystalline diamond. Monocrystalline is like an ice cube with one particle holding its form, while poly-crystalline is like a snow cone made of many small particles that get sheared off during use.

This sharpens dry or with a splash of water and the fine side is great for an occasional touch up when the strop is no longer bringing an edge back to life.
The base is stable with the rubber feet and the clips hold the stone flat and firm. No complaints from me.
I have tried all of the different whetstones out there, as well as sharpening stones, honing rods, etc..
I always sharpen my own tools and also my own chef's knives as well as a few camping knives. This is the best diamond sharpening "stone" on the market. For example I must have used my first one for over four years and just a month ago bought this one to replace it! And I use this a lot. I do a lot of high end residential installation, so all of my equipment, as in cutting pliers, pocket knives, (we uncrate and unwrap tons of expensive art pieces) razor knives, and I even sharpen my awls. With this diamond bench stone I can get the edge back on my pocket knife to razor sharp in about 5 minutes.
One of my installers gets a kick shaving in front of the crew with one of my pocket knives that has an exceptionally good blade right after I sharpen it. I also cook a lot and I always sharpen my cooking knife set either before of after I used them. Depends on how many times I have used them that month. This bench stone does such a great job that I really have to remind myself not to put to much pressure on the edge of the blade as I stroke it along the bench stone.
Sooo... If you get one of these you will know what I am trying to describe in a minute. This bench stone is so useful, it works so well, and also so quickly that it is just a pleasure to sit down and use it. And don't think that just because it has some diamond abrasive materials that it will ruin your blades. It is quite the opposite. The fact that you can really only use light strokes with very little pressure allows your blades a much longer "use" time. By like double or triple its usual lifetime. And that is because you aren't grinding down the overall steel as much as you would using anything else every time you use it!
If you ever have your tools or knives sharpened by grinding, that process, although it gives you an incredibly sharp edge, also reduces the width of your blade each time it has been sharpened by grinding. And you can get a very very similar incredibly sharp edge just using this bench stone without losing any of your steel.
So I really love this bench stone. I couldn't run my business without it. I really recommend trying this one out. And I am probably understating how long I had it before I replaced it. I probably used it for closer to six years now that I am writing and thinking about it.
No oil to deal with. Just add a bit of water and get a razor sharp blade. Rinse, dry and put away.
No mess. No fuss.

Usata su un coltello pieno di cippature….. portate via tutte in 5 minuti dopodiché sono andato con un’altra pietra più fine per fare di nuovo il filo tagliente.
Ma per sgrossare e correggere la geometria della lama da piccoli e grandi problemi è fantastica!!!!
Unica osservazione che la parte a grana grossa quindi quella nera è veramente molto abrasiva…. Quindi prestare la massima attenzione se non si vuole fare poi un danno irrimediabile
