Versatile, flat, continuous surface stones
The Dia-Sharp® line of DMT® diamond stones feature a continuous diamond surface embedded on a sturdy nickel coated steel base. A continuous surface diamond stone is preferred when sharpening small or pointed tools that can get caught in the interrupted surface of other DMT stones, or where other stones can get gouged by the pointed tips. The surface of the Dia-Sharp stones are precision ground to be very flat, and are some of the easiest and most versatile stones available.
Dia-Sharp diamond stones measure 8" long and 3" wide. The size is plenty large for most tools and knives. Includes four rubber feet to keep the stone in place during sharpening.
Available in Extra Coarse, Coarse, Fine, and Extra Fine.
DMT stones are made in the USA
