DMT® Diamond stones™ are renown for their remarkable sharpening speed. The sharpening speed of DMT® products is a function of the quality of the micronized super abrasive, monocrystalline Diamond.

MONOCRYSTALLINE Diamond (a strong, single crystal)
Uniform and precisely sized Monocrystalline Diamond is permanently bonded to nickel on a precision ground plate. Approximately two thirds of each crystal is embedded in the nickel with one third exposed. Because Diamonds are the hardest material known, the working abrasive points (top third of the diamond) will wear very slowly to give a long product life. Extremely pure, DMT® diamond crystals permit a single layer of diamond to perform for years. Competitor’s claims of multiple layers of diamond only indicate poor quality diamond that quickly wears.

POLYCRYSTALLINE Diamond
Our competition uses this fragmented compound that breaks apart and wears away easily with use. Sharpeners made with Polycrystalline Diamond will wear out and need replacement.

EASY CARE & USAGE
Your DMT® diamond stone is a precision product. When used with reasonable care, it will give you many years of faithful service.

1. Break-in period: Initially your diamond stone will seem especially rough. It will smooth over time with gentle stroking without impacting performance. You need not exert extra pressure - let the diamonds do the work!
2. Use only light pressure when sharpening.
3. Use only water as a lubricant. A lubricant is only necessary to speed the process of clearing swarf (material removed during sharpening) into the recessed dots.
4. After use, rinse and dry your diamond stone. Store dry. When further cleaning is needed, use an abrasive cleaner (non-petroleum base) and a scrub brush. Always store your diamond stones clean and dry or the metal fines removed during sharpening will rust if left on the surface.
