S SATC Diamond Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 400/1000 Diamond Plate Honing Stone 8-inch Hone Sharpener White

This diamond plate is great for what it is. It's strictly for profiling. Don't need to be anything special but it works great for profiling. I also bought the sharpal double sided plate. This works just as well as that one. I just use this one to preserve the more expensive one.I will be buying another one of these soon just to have for when this one wears out. They are cheap yet good.It is good and solid. Has a very nice weight to it. It doesn't fit in my current stone holder so I ordered a new one. I'm sure it'll work great.Most other cheap stones like this are paper thin and bend. This one is thick and flat. Just great overall.I'm not a fan of the pattern on the plate but it doesn't effect the way it works.Either way I will buy Another and I suggest you do to.

Decent beginner stone that doesn't break the bank. This was the first diamond stone that I bought when getting into sharpening and it served me pretty well. I'm no expert but this stone was inexpensive and worlds better than those terrible aluminum oxide sharpening stones for sure. It was decently flat, the course side worked well for getting big nicks out or resetting the edge angle, the fine side gets the edge pretty sharp on it's own but paired with a leather strop I got all the knives in my kitchen shaving razor sharp. Eventually it does seem like the diamond surface starts to actually smooth down after lots of use, I'm guessing this just comes with the territory with cheaper made stones and I just upgraded to a Sharpal stone which is considerably more expensive but hopefully will last longer as well. Overall would recommend for someone getting into sharpening for sure.

Both sides of this cut well. It looks to have good diamond coverage and feels like it cuts better than my DMT steels. A $22 at this time, you can't go wrong. This will allow you to get what you're sharpening, well, sharp. It's about 1/4' thick steel with no noticeable warp to it. The photos I included are meant to show the even surface from one end to the other, with no obvious issues. Would recommend in a heartbeat to anyone just starting out and to anyone who want a diamond steel they don't want to worry about babying.

This Diamond tool sharpener is nice for the money.Thick and steel and fits in the sharpening mount well and these last along time.I have bought 2 other diamond hones from this brand and they are money well spent, until you step up to DMT which I have, and am just happy with this brand too for the money!.You wont be disappointed.

Works fantastic ,easy, quick and easy sharpening

This has put very good edges on my chef's knives and others in my kitchen. They are not cheap but they are useful to be sure.

I wanted an inexpensive diamond stone to sharpen my kitchen knives. In the past I've either used a variety of honing stones and a buffing wheel (slow and messy but produces an edge you can shave with), or one of those inexpensive sharpeners where you drag the blade through (fast but inconsistent results and doesn't always leave a good edge). I decided that something in between would be a better choice.I bought this based on a recommendation from the Outdoor55 YouTube channel. He uses this stone to sharpen several different blades very quickly, though he usually follows it up with a leather strop (I usually don't bother). When I saw it for sale for less than $20, I decided to try it.I used it to sharpen one of my large kitchen knives, an older Cutco that has seen a lot of use and abuse. Other reviewers state that the stone is initially quite aggressive and they are right. I placed a few drops of water on the 400 grit side and used it to (mostly) reprofile the edge of the blade. I then flipped the stone over and sharpened it with the 1000 grit side, again using some water. The stone leaves a fairly rough edge even when using the 1000 grit side, but this should improve once it breaks in a bit more.I spent perhaps 2 minutes on this blade. I didn't strop it afterward to get it really sharp, I didn't break in the stone, and I certainly didn't get anything perfect. All I did was to undo some of the irregularities that the drag-through sharpener had left behind and gave it a clean edge. When I was done, the knife was sharp enough to slice onions cleanly. It's sharp enough to use as-is, though it could easily be made sharper with a finer stone and/or a leather strop.The stone has some weight to it so it won't shift around while you're trying to sharpen your knife. No idea how it will break in over time, though I'm satisfied with its performance right out of the box. All I wanted was an inexpensive coarse/fine diamond stone that will make kitchen knives reasonably sharp quickly, and this stone does that. Someday I may strop one of the blades after using this stone to see how sharp I can get it, but for now I don't feel the need.

Great stone to learn on. Coarse on one side, fine on the other. With a little YouTube training, I was sharpening paper cutting sharp. I added a strope and the stone holder. The stone holder is by these same folks. It works great. I am set for a long time with this set up.
