Amazon.com Review

Diamond is the hardest material known, and as a result it can be used to sharpen everything from tungsten carbide and steel to ceramic, glass, and stone. This two-sided whetstone is coated with a perforated mesh of extremely durable monocrystalline diamond that sharpens much more quickly than a regular whetstone and won't form grooves or hollows over time. Because the DuoSharp lies flat and provides a wide surface, the whetstone works particularly well for wide-bladed knives. Light pressure strokes are all that are needed, and if lubricant is desired, use water not oil.

Color-coded for quick reference, the blue-dotted side of the 8-by-3/8-by-2-5/8 stone features a coarse, 325-grit (45 micron) surface, while the red-dotted side features a finer 600 grit (25 micron). The coarse side restores dull or damaged edges, while the fine side, used regularly, keeps an edge razor-sharp. DMT makes a stand for the whetstone (sold separately) and will replace free of charge any product found to be defective. --Ann Bieri
