Choosing the right sharpener is crucial for maintaining the edge and longevity of your knives and tools. DMT (Diamond Machining Technology) sharpeners are renowned for their high-quality diamond sharpening stones, providing consistent and efficient results for both hobbyists and professionals. With a wide range of products, including bench stones, portable sharpeners, and specialty tools, DMT offers solutions for every sharpening need.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the various types of DMT sharpeners, their unique benefits, and how to select the best one for your specific requirements. Whether you're sharpening kitchen knives, pocket knives, or woodworking tools, DMT sharpeners ensure a sharp edge with ease and precision.  

Why Choose DMT Sharpeners?

Superior Diamond Technology

DMT sharpeners stand out due to their use of monocrystalline diamond surfaces. Unlike polycrystalline diamonds, monocrystalline diamonds resist breaking and retain their sharpness longer. This technology ensures that DMT sharpeners provide a consistent, efficient sharpening experience, making them a superior choice for both hobbyists and professionals.

Durability and Longevity

One of the primary advantages of DMT sharpeners is their durability. The diamond surface is bonded to a solid substrate, creating a sharpener that lasts a very long time. This longevity means you won't need to replace your sharpener as frequently, offering excellent value for money over time.

Consistent and Efficient Sharpening

DMT sharpeners are known for their ability to produce a sharp edge quickly and efficiently. The diamond surface cuts through metal faster than other materials, reducing the time and effort needed to achieve a sharp edge. This efficiency is particularly beneficial for those who sharpen tools and knives regularly.

Ease of Use

Using a DMT sharpener is straightforward, making it accessible for users of all skill levels. DMT's diamond sharpeners can be used dry, but we do recommend using water to keep them clear of swarf. They also remain flat over the course of their lifespan. This simplicity and minimal maintenance makes the sharpening process clean and easy, allowing you to focus on achieving a perfect edge.

Bench Stones

DMT Dia-Sharp Bench Stones

DMT Dia-Sharp bench stones are distinguished by their continuous diamond surface, providing a flat and even sharpening area.

They are ideal for sharpening knives, chisels, plane irons, and other flat-edged tools. The flat surface ensures consistent results, making these stones highly reliable.
