I’m a huge fan of S SATC diamond bench stones, and this 400/1000 grit double-sided plate continues to deliver excellent value and performance. Like most budget-friendly diamond stones, there is a small amount of lower-grit contamination out of the box, but it’s not excessive and becomes far less noticeable after a short break-in period. Once broken in, these stones settle down nicely and perform very close to their rated grit for consistent, predictable sharpening. What really stands out is durability. My original S SATC stones are approaching two years of regular use, with close to 300 knives sharpened so far, and they still have plenty of life left. The cutting speed remains strong, which is exactly why I always recommend diamond stones like these to new sharpeners. Diamonds cut fast and provide immediate feedback, making it much easier to learn how to hold a consistent angle, raise a burr, apex the edge, refine it properly, and then finish with stropping. Compared to water stones or natural stones—which cut much slower and offer delayed feedback—diamond plates dramatically shorten the learning curve. That faster feedback helps beginners understand what’s happening at the edge in real time instead of guessing. Inexpensive, effective, and long-lasting, this stone is an easy recommendation for beginners and experienced sharpeners alike.
