It is quick and easy to use and produces a very sharp, clean edge. Requires much less work than standard whetstone. Tested it on knives, chisels and gravers and it produced excellent results.

I am a professional sharpener. This did an excellent job in sharpening some chisels. I would also use it on knives and axes.

Just a few light strokes across the sharpener and I restored several knives that I thought would not hold a edge any longer. Well worth the price. This sharpener pays for itself.

Over the course of many years I have obtained and used a variety of knife sharpeners. The DMT 6" diamond whetstone sharpener is far superior to any other I have used. There is no substitute for sharp knives and there is no substitute for a great sharpener. Just a few quick strokes maintains a great edge. What more can you ask?

It is very simple to use and does a great job of sharpening knives and chisels. I used it on Lathe turning skew and it was easy to do that and it produced a very sharp edge.

Diamonds are a woodworker's best friend! The first step to successful woodworking is sharp tools. This diamond whetstone is very effective and makes the sharpening process a minimal effort.

I had several tools that needed sharpening and was able to quickly sharpen the tools to like new condition. This is an essential tool, for my toolbox. I wish I had purchased one years ago as I have been able to restore a lot of tools to new condition.

ease of use, great edge, simple instructions
