DMT DMTD8EE messenslijper, uniseks, volwassenen, meerkleurig, eenheidsmaat

There is really nothing comparable to this product on the market, and it is a big improvement in fuss and mess over, say, Japanese waterstones. Because it is so easy to put a good finish on your sharpened knives, you will do it more often (a must I think for chefs' knives). I've seen some reviews questioning whether this is truly 8000 mesh, or something less (and even the instructions indicate that it may be something less before breaking in). I'm afraid I'm not OCD enough to really care, as long as it is in that 3000-8000 range.A quick note: the last time I looked, Amazon's description says you can sharpen on either side of this plate (it is a heavy slab of nickle, and both sides look the same to the casual glance). But there is an arrow on one side of the plate pointing to the diamond impregnated side, and this is the side you want to use for sharpening -- there is only one abrasive side to the plate.After accumulating a few expensive VG-10 and SG2 steel Japanese Kitchen knives, I settled on maintaining them (once a week) with a Coarse, Fine, Extra Fine system of DMT plates. For finishing, I use this the Extra-Extra Fine finishing plate. It takes a bit of practice to use these properly, but once you get a system down, they are probably the least expensive or messy, most reliable system for sharpening high quality blades. There are generally four types of commercially available systems to sharpen your kitchen knives. Here is my (very) subjective comparison of systems:1. Diamond Systems (e.g., DMT): Mess & Effort (Low), Sharpening Quality (Very High), Skill required (Moderate)2. Arkansas stones: Mess & Effort (Moderate), Sharpening Quality (High, not good for steels >60HRC), Skill required (Moderate)3. Japanese Waterstones: Mess & Effort (Very High), Sharpening Quality (The Best), Skill required (High)4. Ceramic sharpening systems: Mess & Effort (Low), Sharpening Quality (High, touch up only), Skill required (Low)I use dish detergent and water on the DMT plates to sharpen, having found that better than other solutions. It keeps everything clean as well. The DMT plates sharpen aggressively, so compared to the other systems, you will sharpen faster and with less effort.I have seen several complaints about DMT plates not being perfectly flat, but I think these are bogus. I have considerable experience inspecting optical flats (these usually need to be flatter than 1/4 wave, which is quite flat) and used the same techniques to eyeball my plates . The extra fine plate is easy to inspect, since rainbow refractions from the diamonds show off any ripples; additionally, the regular pattern of pits on the plates highlights any unevenness. My plates are very flat. But interestingly enough, not one of my knives (not even my brand new Miyabi) is perfectly flat; certainly not as flat as the plate. Even if there were ripples, I couldn't see them being more significant than you would get on a worn waterstone or Arkansas stone. Maybe there is the occasional bad plate; just send it back and get a new one. The DMT system is in my opinion a much less error prone approach to sharpening than other options.I use the designed by Global for Japanese style chef's knives (~15 degree edge). Someone mentioned that they are afraid that these will grind down, and change the angle. Well, first, the tolerances are not that fine on the blade angle (anything from 9 degrees to 20 on a side is fine), and the correct technique should be to pressure the sharp edge of the blade, and let the sharpening guide just glide over the stone. If you do this, you will hardly even scratch the sharpening guide. You should see a very even line of sharpened metal around the blade (the first time you sharpen it, you will change the factory angle, and this will be visible) ... a sign that the guide is doing its job.I replaced the Arkansas stone on my with the which slots right into the space (I epoxied it to hold it tight). The DMT system has a bit more surface area, and is a bit more aggressive, while getting the same near-polish. I finish with a strop. I mounted the on a wood slat, coated with Overall the cost is low for all the DMT plates you need: perhaps ~ $200. I prefer a strop over the steel, as it seems to gently and reliably straighten the final edge and seems consistent when finishing with the 4000-8000 mesh (whatever the actual fine-ness of your turns out to be).

Simplesmente o pior produto americano que já vi na vida. Camada de diamante toda irregular, vem cheia de riscos, granulação errada (a 1200 é mais grossa que uma 1000 cerâmica, a 8000 é mais grossa que uma 6000 cerâmica) cheia de diamantes saltados. Não compre essa pedra, é dinheiro jogado fora, comprei a 1200 e 8000 e estou devolvendo as duas, não serve nem para nivelar outras pedras de tão ruim. Isso vai destruir suas lâminas. Gaste seu dinheiro em algo que preste, compre uma shapton.

Si vous souhaitez vous équiper d'une pierre facile d'usage et extrêmement efficace, les pierres diamantées de chez DMT sont LE bon choix ! Finitions au top, et le "rendu" est super agréable, on sent le pierre travailler... un régal !Certes elles ne sont pas données, mais c'est le prix de la qualité et de la longévité, on fait une vie entière avec ces pierres.Et le côté "disponible de suite" (vs pierres japonaises, ou même splah'n'go comme les shapton pro, excellentes elles aussi par ailleurs !!!), hé bien ... C'est top ! Elles sont là, toujours prêtes à servir, rien à préparer ! Cette fersion extra-extra-fine est parfaite pour terminer un affûtage, avant de passer au cuir qui va bien ,!Évidemment, aiguiser à la pierre reste un exercice pas évident du tout, surtout au début, et conserver un angle constant n'est malheureusement pas plus facile avec ces DMT ;)Youtube regorge de chaînes dédiées (fandecouteaux notamment, ma préférée) et surtout... commencez avec un couteau sacrifiable ! Et gardez patience, ça vaut le coup, quand on chope le coup, on y prend vite goût :)Update : j'oubliais un point important : comme toutes les DMT diamant, les premières passes sont très abrasives, le temps de laisser la plaque. Ne commencez donc pas avec un couteau de qualité, optez plutôt pour un rodage sur une lame sans intérêt ;)

Great high quality stone that will take the chisel edge to the next level compared to a 1000 grit trend stone.I haven’t used water stones, as I prefer the fact that diamond doesn’t need levelled.I’m happy with how this stone cuts and how the blades perform. I’ll usually strop after it, but it isn’t required.It’s not cheap, but it is GOOD! And you’ll only cry once.
