Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT ADELUXE Aligner Deluxe Knife Sharpening Kit
Customer Review: Good, but short-lived. Overpriced replacement stones.
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved this when I first bought it. As time went on, the stones wore out. New stones are way overpriced. Right now, the only part of the stones that sharpen are the extreme ends. The middle 80% of each stone does not sharpen any more. The clamp is weak, too. I am afraid to tighten it too much for fear of it breaking. So, it does not hold the blade firmly, and a very delicate touch is required.
Despite the weak clamp, I could live with it if the stones lasted.
Customer Review: Great Value, Excellent Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I did quite a lot of research before buying this DMT Aligner Sharpening Kit, and it has exceeded my expectations. The kit delivers quick and professional results, and comes with a handy pouch so nothing is misplaced. Just need to rinse off the diamond stones after use to get optimal results the next time.
Don't know why few box retailers have DMT products. Their loss and Amazon.com is the best source for DMT Sharpeners.
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
Never have been able to master sharpening knives freehand. Tried this type of aligner system years ago with standard sharpening stones and was able to get a good edge but with a lot of work and time. With the DMT diamond stones I was turning out arm shaving edges in 5 minutes on really dull carbon steel and 440 stainless blades. A Queen knife with a D2 tool steel blade took a little longer but I would never have had the patience to finish it with my old conventional stones. I love this product and highly recommend it.Customer Review: No talent needed for incredibly sharp blades.
Summary: 5 Stars
This knife sharpener is great because it takes the need for talent out of the equation. Sharpening the blade at the exact same angle for every stroke allows you to get a razor edge on anything. I am really happy with this kit. I also ordered the A4X Extra Coarse stone and the A4EE extra extra fine stone, so I have a total of five stones. Everything fits in the blue bag. I am convinced I could get a razor edge on a hammer. Highly recommend.Customer Review: Not bad
Summary: 3 Stars
One reason why I'm giving this only three stars, is because I really don't think that the components fit into the included case as nicely as they should.
The second reason is that the little plastic 'nubs' broke off my one alignment component after only a few uses of the product.
It will get your knives sharp, and the included serration sharpener is nice.
In the end it's not bad, but I wouldn't rush out to buy one.
