Tools and Hardware Reviews of the Spyderco Diamond Triangle Pair
Tool Review: Not coarse enough for rebeveling easily
Summary: 2 Stars
The SharpMaker is a great product, but one of the drawbacks is that it's slow going if the bevels of the knife are wider than the 30° or 40° angle that the SharpMaker is set for. And reducing the angle with the stones that come with the SharpMaker can take far too much time and effort to be worth while. That's why people opt for the diamond stones. But I found that the SharpMaker diamond rods were not coarse enough for my taste, and reducing the angle with the diamond stones still took far too much time and effort to be worth while, at least with some of the tougher steels, such as D2 and ZDP-189.
I think a better idea is to purchase the DMT D6CX Double Sided Dia-Sharp Coarse/Extra-Coarse Bench Stone:
DMT D6CX Double Sided Dia-Sharp Bench Stone - Coarse / Extra-Coarse.
You can lean the DMT stone against one of the SharpMaker ceramic rods so that the DMT stone is at a 30° or 40° angle and hold the DMT stone fast to the ceramic rod with one rubber band going around the top and another one going around the bottom of DMT stone/ceramic rod. The DMT stone will remove more metal faster than the SharpMaker diamond rods.
And if you want to freehand sharpen, the DMT stone is much better for that.
Having bought the SharpMaker diamond rods and then the DMT stone, I can say that the extra expense of the DMT is well worth it. Some people love the SharpMaker diamond rods. I'm not one of them.
