DMT® Diamond Whetstones™ are
renown for their remarkable sharpening speed. The sharpening speed of DMT®
products is a function of the quality of the micronized super abrasive,
monocrystalline Diamond. MONOCRYSTALLINE
Diamond Uniform and precisely sized Monocrystalline Diamond is
permanently bonded to nickel on a precision ground plate. Approximately two
thirds of each crystal is embedded in the nickel with one third exposed.
Because Diamonds are the hardest material known, the working abrasive
points (top third of the diamond) will wear very slowly to give a long product
life. Extremely pure, DMT® diamond crystals permit a single layer of
diamond to perform for years. Competitors claims of multiple layers of
diamond only indicate poor quality diamond that quickly wears. POLYCRYSTALLINE Diamond Our competition uses this fragmented compound that breaks
apart and wears away easily with use. Sharpeners made with Polycrystalline
Diamond will wear out and need replacement. EASY CARE & USAGE Your DMT® Diamond Whetstone™ is a precision tool. When used
with reasonable care, it will give you many years of faithful service. 1. Break-in period:
Initially your diamond stone will seem especially rough. It will smooth
over time with gentle stroking without impacting performance. You need not
exert extra pressure - let the diamonds do the work! 2. Use only light
pressure when sharpening. As a rule, 5-10 minutes on a conventional
oilstone is equal to about 20 seconds on DMT® Diamond Sharpeners. 3. Use only water as
a lubricant. A lubricant is only necessary to speed the process of clearing
swarf (material removed during sharpening) into the recessed dots. 4. After use, rinse
and dry your diamond sharpener. Store dry. When further cleaning is needed,
use an abrasive cleaner (non-petroleum base) and a scrub brush. Always
store your diamond sharpener clean and dry or the metal fines removed
during sharpening will rust if left on the surface. WARRANTY The DMT® Commitment - For more than 30 years, DMT® has been
