Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT W6EP 6-Inch Diamond Whetstone Sharpener - Extra-Fine With Plastic Box
Customer Review: 4.9 stars Works Just Fine (I mean extra-fine)
Summary: 5 Stars
4.9 stars. The stone works just as advertized, producing wonderful edges on my kitchen knives. Those complaining about its small size should get a life since any large knife will not have a straight edge, so it will only contact the stone at a point anyway. One is not trying to make a new shape with a stone this fine, just touching up an already existing sharp edge to make it super sharp. I sharpen my knives before and after every use, so there is never much to take off the blade. (I also scream at people who try to use it on a glass or ceramic surface.)
My only reason for not rating 5 stars is that the so called plastic "box" was so flimsy that I thought it was part of the packaging and threw away the top by accident. The base is almost as usless because there is no mechanical way for it to stay attached to the stone. I put some slips of paper at the edges so that the stone fit tightly, making is somewhat better. I hope the stone lasts as long as a regular stone (ie decades) but have my doubts.

DMT Diamond Whetstone, Extra fine 1,200 gritsThis all-purpose whetstone sharpens and hones a variety of household tools and equipment, maintaining the accessories for the hobbies of just about everyone in the house. Its most common use is for sharpening kitchen cutlery and scissors; however, this whetstone also works on chisels, planes, masonry drills, and other shop tools; garden tools; ice skates; climbing equipment; ski edges; fishhooks; ceramic; stone; and glass. The whetstone is durably and uniquely constructed of perforated steel molded into a plastic base. The surface features minute pieces of diamond, the hardest known material for sharpening, embedded into a nickel plate, to achieve an extremely sharp edge. The bonded diamonds are arranged around an innovative pattern of plastic discs and the combination of these two materials greatly reduces sharpening time and resists wearing over time.
This particular whetstone is encrusted with an extra-fine diamond grit of 1,200 mesh, which is the least abrasive and better suited for polishing an edge after a few strokes on a coarser grit. The surface should be moistened before sharpening and the blade should be passed over the whetstone with light pressure at a 20-degree angle to get the proper edge without dulling it. After sharpening, the whetstone may simply be wiped off and its nonporous properties prevent water from seeping below the surface.
This whetstone measures 6 by 2 by 3/4 inches and has rubber safety feet underneath it to prevent sliding during sharpening. DMT generously vows to replace any product found to be defective free of charge. --Cristina Vaamonde
