DMT Universal Sharpening Base Review

We were thrilled to get our hands on the new DMT Universal Sharpening Base, the ideal solution for anyone looking to get the absolute best performance out of their sharpening stones.
Designed with versatility in mind, this base accommodates every DMT stone from 4" to 12" in length, including Whetstones, DuoSharp Stones, and Dia-Sharp Stones, while also holding many non-DMT waterstones, oil stones, and natural stones.
Rock-Solid Stability
One of the biggest frustrations in sharpening is a stone that slips around on your workbench. With the DMT Universal Sharpening Base, large, non-slip feet keep your stones firmly in place, ensuring you can sharpen with complete confidence and focus. Once you have your stone secured in this base, its not going anywhere.
Optimal Height for Comfort
Raising your stone above the work surface is key to maintaining the right sharpening angle without risking knuckle contact on the table. The DMT Universal Base provides ample clearance, letting you hold your knife or other tools comfortably and sharpen more efficiently.
Effortless Adjustments
Equipped with a single locking lever and adjustable jaws, the base makes switching stones of different sizes quick and hassle-free. No more fumbling with multiple knobs or threaded rods—one simple lever does the job so you can spend more time sharpening and less time setting up.
It also includes adapters designed with the 12” and 11 ½” DMT stones in mind, but works great with any stone that’s 3” or 2 ½” wide. Take the adapters off and the Base will hold stones of any width.
Your One-Stop Sharpening Station
Whether you’re just starting your sharpening journey or you’re a seasoned pro with an assortment of stones, the DMT Universal Sharpening Base offers a reliable, convenient platform. It’s a must-have addition to any toolkit dedicated to achieving razor-sharp edges.
Ready to elevate your sharpening experience? Pick up the DMT Universal Sharpening Base and discover just how seamless and precise your next sharpening session can be.
