The overall size of the DMT® 8" DuoSharp® Plus is very generous at 8" long and 2 3/8" wide. The length is long enough to ensure long strokes of your tool or knife, and the width is wide enough for even larger plane blades. And because this stone is double-sided (choose from fine/extra fine or fine/coarse grits), it is more versatile and cost effective.

The "plus" feature on this stone is the area on the edge of the stone that is continuous diamond material, instead of the traditional interrupted material found on most DMT® diamond stones. The continuous diamond material works on pointed tools where the interrupted material might catch the tip of the tool. A non-skid mat is included with every diamond stone.

Available in Extra Fine/Fine Grit and Fine/Coarse Grit. Made in the USA.

The DMT® 8" DuoSharp® Plus is a great combination of size and value. The 8" diamond stone is ideal for just about any knife or tool. The coarse/fine stone is a great stone to own if you're going to own just one stone. The coarse side can remove nicks or sharpen very dull knives and tools. The fine side is fine enough for the final edge on kitchen knives or used as an intermediate step before even finer grits. The fine/extra fine stone can be used any time your edge is not damaged or abused. After using the fine grit, the extra fine grit puts an extremely sharp and durable edge on knives and tools.

We recommend the 8" DMT® DuoSharp® for woodworking tools, kitchen cutlery, and outdoor knives.
