Versatile Sharpening
With the DMT 10-Inch DuoSharp Bench Stone, sharpening has never been easier. Use the fine diamond stone (25 micron / 600 mesh) to get that razor sharp edge, or take advantage of the coarse diamond stone (45 micron / 325 mesh) to easily restore a blade's neglected edge back to its original performance. Simply place the DuoSharp Bench Stone on any flat surface, and its non-skid rubber mat will keep it firmly planted during sharpening.

The extra-large diamond surface allows the DuoSharp Bench Stone the ability to sharpen virtually any knife or edged tool, including long chef’s and carving knives, woodworking tools and much more.

Its ease of use is equally impressive. You can ditch the messy oils that are required with other sharpeners, and the innovative diamond surface allows you to easily sharpen dry or with water.

Innovative Diamond Surface
DMT's patented DuoSharp surface provides unparalleled performance, thanks to its monocrystalline diamond surface, which sharpens faster and more efficiently than other sharpeners. This allows you to spend less time sharpening edges and more time actually using them. DMT uses only the finest materials for their products, and all of their products are made in the USA.

Compact Design
The 10-Inch DuoSharp Bench Stone measures 10 x 4 x 0.38 inches (LxWxH), and it weighs just 1.5 pounds. Its compact and lightweight size make it easy to take anywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great; saved my chisels, June 9, 2003

This review is from: DMT W250FCNB 10-Inch DuoSharp Bench Stone Fine / Coarse - No Base (Tools & Home Improvement)

This diamond stone is really useful. After attempting to regrind, then hone some old chisels on a set of waterstones, I had almost ruined the chisels due to the fact that the large amount of grinding that had carved bowls in my stones (which I didn't notice right away).

I purchased this diamond stone to true the water stones and it does a great job, rendering them flat with just a few strokes. The added bonus was that I also used the diamond stone for the first stage of regrinding the chisels; it was much faster than the water stone and stayed flat during the process.

Unless you have a method of securing the diamond stone to your bench, get the available holder, its definitely worth the money.

I did notice a bit of rust forming on the steel substrate after leaving it wet, so I now dry it off after each use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super flat and super fast, March 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: DMT W250FCNB 10-Inch DuoSharp Bench Stone Fine / Coarse - No Base (Tools & Home Improvement)

A super value sharpener for all your edges no matter what they are made of. Carbide, ceramic, tool steel, high speed steel all are sharpened very quickly to a very keen edge. The double sided design is a great space saver and the whetstone size is great for large plane iron flattening / sharpening. This premium value seems to be found in all the rest of the DMT product line too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a quality product that does what it's supposed to..., July 20, 2006

I've tried several different sharpening systems, and sharpeners over the course of my lifetime, and without a doubt, the DMT DuoSharp is the best I've personally used. The Stone is very effective having both coarse and fine sides to it, and it is quality built. I will have this stone for my lifetime, and my son will probably inherit it after I'm gone.
If you're looking for a stone to take a damaged or totally unsharpened edge to a razor edge, then this is the one you need. If a more polished edge is what you're after then the Fine, Extra Fine is the one for you. With these two stones, you can sharpen and hone then polish anything from a pocket knife to a hatchet and then on to a Samarai Sword. I'm currently working on putting a razor sharp edge on a Hattori Hanzo replica sword my son owns.
This is a pricey stone, but remember... you get what you pay for!
I'd buy it all over again!
