Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT W250EFNB 10-Inch DuoSharp Bench Stone Extra-Fine / Fine No Base
Customer Review: Diamonds are a person's best friend
Summary: 4 Stars
Sharpening tools? Then Duosharp diamond whetstones are the way to go. They are much faster than conventional sharpening stones, are easy to set up and use, and clean-up in a jiffy, since only water is used in the sharpening process. I particularly encourage the use of the larger (4" x 10") stones, since they allow longer, straight strokes and a complete range of stone grades. By first preparing the tool angle with the Extra Coarse stone, then progressively using the Coarse, Fine and finally Extra Fine stone, you will easily get a sharp, ready to use tool. Enjoy!!Customer Review: Duosharp Whetstone - it's good but not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, the whetstone does a decent job of sharpening kitchen knifes. I purchased the 4" X 10" duo stone with one side being graded as a "fine" and the flip side of the stone graded as "very fine".
The good news is the size. 4" X 10" is a decent size working surface. You can hone with long even strokes. The Bad news is the price. A hundred dollar sharpener it isn't. I dare say that if you can find a one of those rare old wet stones that are of comparible lenght and width, buy them. I could not beat the old wet stone with the diamond.
Speed - well, MAYBE the diamond is a little faster. Not much if any, but perhaps it is a little quicker. But remember this, If I had to choose between a short & narrow diamond stone or a old fashioned Larger wet stone, the wet stone wins everytime. Long smooth strokes make for ultra fine, concisely sharp edges. Short strokes cant match it - in MY opinion.
Bottom line: The size of the stone is it's best feather. You pay dearly for that size. Dont waste your money on a smaller size, it may be cheaper, but every single time you use it, you'll wish you had a larger stone.
Customer Review: Duosharp Whetstones
Summary: 5 Stars
This fine/extra fine whetstone is all that it promises & more. I bought it because of it's large size to accomodate my kitchen knife collection. This whetstone gives me a razor's edge, but I would suggest it's use with a couple of other products:
1. The duosharp coarse/extra course whetstone
2. The DMT whetstone duobase to hold the whetstone securely during use
3. A mousetrap hone, because sharpening is NOT the same as honing.
Customer Review: Fast cutting, very nice stone
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much to say about a sharpening stone except that this is one of those tools that you don't want to scrimp on. The DMT is well made and makes short work of chisels and plane blades, if I ever had to buy another stone, this would be it. Don't forget the coarse/extra coarse stone, they complement each other.Customer Review: Gotta love it
Summary: 5 Stars
You have to love it when you invest in one item that you randomly pick, and it turns out to be the last one you will ever need to buy.
I did a bit of research prior to buying - and it turned out to be the best purchase for the kitchen, after the food processor.
Now - some five plus years later - it still works like a charm, and all of my expensive knives are in topnotch conditions, thanks to this sharpening stone!
