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.

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.

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!

Dmt sharpening stone is the best for all knives. It takes less than half of the time to Sharpen knives than other stones. I m loving it... But the only thing I can't understand is he colors black and blue... It's not easy .. But it is brilliant stone to have... Now I hv sharp knives all the time...

Really like it. Got a blue/red stone, medium and fine I beleive, does a real nice job. Fast too. Really put an edge on a benchmade I was struggling with. Ordered a smaller very fine for finishing. WD

I have spent over the years more than a few dollars looking for a sharpening tool that is easy to use and does the job right.

The DMT Dual 10-inch is finally the one - I am glad the search is over.

Easy to use [ once you practice and get the movement right - recommend that you practice on old knifes first before you attempt sharpening your $200 chef knife ]

Gets the job done in only a few minutes.

I have used it on Kitchen knifes, expensive damascus pocket knifes and even on a 3G Steel [very hard steel]Hunting Knife - got the job done on each one of them.

I am beyond pleased - ready to go for the extra fine stone now - just to see how much more a knife can improve.

Great product, quick delivery - as advertised.

[even the base is not bad to use - recommend that you get it)

Good luch and sharpen with caution ... !

Great product;much better than the original DMT Bench Stones.The extra width
really helps when sharpening plane irons.

Fantastic product. Beats sharpening stones hands down.
I will purchase the extra fine/extra coarse stone soon.
Would definitely buy the base to go with the stone.
Its about 4" wide which makes it useful for plane blades.

Excellent product for honing a perfect edge for those hand tools. Get a coarse, fine and extra fine stone to dress those tools to perfection.

After buying any number of "pro" quality stones, sticks, machines and gadgets, I should have saved my time and money and bought this to begin with, I'd have saved a mint. With two sides I can do just about all I need without fear of burning, unless I want a polished edge.
