This is a great product. I had some good knives that hadn't been sharpened in 5-6 years. They had been getting progressively duller. There was a huge contrast between these older dull knives and my recently-purchased knives. But this DMT stone, combined with a finer grit DMT stone, got them back to sharpness quickly. I highly recommend the use of the coarse stone for knives that are pretty dull. It made all the difference in the world.

DMT is a nice whetstone. They are color coded by grit. This coarse grit is best for working on a really blunted edge, the finer grits for a finished edge. I usually get a edge on the Tormec wet grinder, then strop the burr with a fine grit DMT. Makes for a razor sharp knife. I reccomend buying several of these diamond stones in various grits.

This review is from: DMT W6CP 6-Inch Diamond Whetstone Sharpener - Coarse With Plastic Box (Tools & Home Improvement)

i am a novice when it comes to knife sharpening, but I have found that these stones are very easy to use and effective. I used the coarse stone to sharpen my machete and some garden tools and then followed this with another couple of stones and the results were great.

The stone wasn't quite what I expected. It was plastic and light and not as 'special-looking' as I thought it would be. Initially, I was disappointed as it was a gift, but the results speak for themselves and I can't complain about that.
