This review is from: DMT W6X 6-Inch Diamond Whetstone Sharpener, Extra-Coarse with Hardwood Box (Tools & Home Improvement)

I picked one of these up at a knife show to sharpen my balisong and reshape the blade a bit (balisong blades get bent around a lot, hitting the latch and such. Works great. i hear that the diamond wears off eventually, but i have not had mine long enough for that. The only thing i dont like is that there arent enough grades of stone, so im never quite sure if i have a wire edge or not. regardless, its a quality product.
