S SATCDiamond 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.

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.

Looks like a decent stone, but had a non-removable blemish on the 600 grit side. I tried acetone, alcohol, and glass cleaner, but under a microscope, it looks like rusted gouge. And it hangs up the knife blade if I try to sharpen. Awaiting replacement.UPDATE: The replacement stone is in perfect condition. This is a good stone for establishing a rough apex. (You can use either side for that, though it's a bit faster on the 150 side.) The first one took over a month to arrive. The replacement took about a week.

Wonderful diamond plate at an amazing price point. It stays flat, easy to clean, and great for diy/beginners like myself.

I waited to review this until it was broken in and had done some actual work with it. First it took much longer to break in than a fine DMT. The 600 grit side ended up feeling much more like a 400 but the grit seems to be surprisingly consistent for a cheap plate. The 1200 side feels and sounds much coarser than the EF DMT. So I'd call it fine. Overall I'd call this a med/fine. Not a bad stone! Grit is consistent and it does good work after break in. If you're just learning get something coarser. Great product for the money!
