Review: Quick, no hassle way to get your knives super sharp - I'd been using cheap "wet" whetstones but they were messy, a hassle and didn't actually work very well. (Better ones than I have will do a good job, but the hassle and mess is still an issue.) I saw a few YouTube videos about using diamond stones dry and decided to give it a try. And wow, this stone works much better than my older wet whetstones and it takes almost no time and makes no mess. The stone itself is heavy and feels quality, and you can see and feel the diamond coating. The base is a simple plastic base that doubles as a storage case, but it's the stone that's the important part. However, a quick tip is that if you get the Sharpal strop for final polishing, it fits right on top of the storage base/case for storage, as if it was made to sit there. Just a minor little detail that isn't advertised anywhere. The sharpening process is essentially the same as with other whetstones, you just don't need any water. It does still take a little skill and care or you absolutely can scratch your knives and/or just not get them sharp. I scratched a couple of my knives a little bit the first time I used this and I realized the problem was my motion. I was letting the knives run off the far end of the stone, which let the corner of the stone scratch the blade as it ran off. You do need to be in better control of your knives than I initially was. There is a little angle guide that comes with the stone and it's helpful for the initial set of the apex angle, but I wouldn't keep using it. Just use it to get a feel for what the angle you want is and then rely on your muscle memory after that. The reason I say that is you won't build up your skill if you just keep putting the knife against the guide every time, and it also just takes longer and is kind of easy to mess up. It's hard to really know when your knife is properly positioned against the guide. It always takes me about 10-15 seconds to get it set right, so doing that on every pass would be unreasonable. Just get a feel for it and then forget the guide. Once you're good at it, with a dry stone like this, you can sharpen a knife in just a couple minutes. Then cleanup really involves just rinsing the stone off and patting it dry. There will be a little bit of metal powder from your blades but it doesn't go all over like water does - it generally stays on the stone - and it just rinses off. I wouldn't go further than that with the cleanup because you can end up with residue (either metal or soap) stuck in the stone that's hard to get out. (Ask me how I know.) Same with drying it - the stone is meant to be abrasive so if you dry with a sweeping motion, you're just going to end up with microscopic bits of towel stuck in the stone. So rinse and pat dry, that's it. Very easy. Overall a huge time-saver vs. traditional whetstones. I do usually like traditional methods but this is a good compromise. They just didn't have the technology to make artificial diamonds like this in the old days, so they had to use water with more common stone. Otherwise you can bet they would have used dry diamond stones. The actual process is the same, though, so you still get the feel of manually sharpening your knives. It just takes far less time and creates far less mess.
Review: Great Diamond Stone, Good Value--325 shapes quickly and 1200 refines the edge. - Great diamond stone for the price. 325 on one side to cut through the steel, 1200 to finish it. It's got an angle guide to help but, with use, you should get used to approximate angle just by feel. That's where most of the work comes in--you sharpening and learning to feel the edge and angle of your knives. This is a tool that does a great job but it won't make you better at sharpening your knives. You need to put in time and practice, develop feel and an intuitive motion. The 325 side takes off steel pretty quickly so best to limit your use of that side until you "practice" a bit on the 1200 side. Once you're more confident in maintaining angle and movement you can use the 325 grit to take off steel more quickly and then finish on 1200. But it's a good stone. The diamond cuts efficiently, don't "overpower" pressure against its surface. Find your angle and motion and let the stone do the work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does my diamond stone feel aggressive at first but smoother over time? Is it wearing out too fast?**
A: It’s normal! The rough surface sharpens aggressively at first. With use, it smooths, exposing more diamonds for consistent performance. The break-in varies but usually takes several uses. Your stone isn’t wearing out—it’s adjusting for long-term use!

**Q: Is water or oil required during the sharpening process?**
A: Avoid using water during sharpening, as it may cause the iron filings on the stone's surface to rust. Testing shows minimal difference in sharpening performance between using oil and dry sharpening, so oil is not necessary.

**Q: After using the stone, dark areas appear on its surface. Does this mean the diamonds have worn off?**
A: No, the dark areas are dried dirt from sharpening, not a sign of the diamonds wearing off. These marks don’t affect performance and can be left as is. For minor marks, use an eraser. For tough stains, clean with Bar Keepers Friend and air dry fully.

**Q: Should I use high pressure when sharpening with this diamond stone?**
A: Avoid applying excessive pressure when sharpening, as it can accelerate wear on the diamond and shorten its lifespan. Instead, use light pressure to maximize the sharpening performance of the diamond particles.

**Q: How long does it last?**
A: The lifespan depends on usage, the hardness of the materials being sharpened, and maintenance. With proper care, it can last many years, even for those sharpening 3 to 4 times a week. Regular cleaning and light pressure extend its durability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Higher performance stone, low price
*by W***L on November 8, 2025*

Fantastic. At firrst the 325 grit side was easiest. I could get a really consistent scratch pattern. The 1200 grit side took a bit longer, as it needs a slightly different touch. But what a stone! The 325 grit makes quick work of hard tasks. I do my serious work on that side, and polish on the smooth side. The case it comes with is an excellent base for the stone. Makes carrying it around easy, and can be used anywhere you have a table top. Cleanup is a snap. I only got into sharpening this past year, but I've tried whetstones (takes time to soak and clean up after, and flattening), rods (great but not meant for serious sharpening), and this diamond stone. Also, some of my knives have high hardness, and a diamond stone is really necessary for harder blades. I've tried a few other diamond stones, and this one is by far the best. It was recommended by a sharpening expert, and lives up to the hype. I'm getting myself a new one for Christmas. Just for relaxation I sharpen knives 1-2 hours per day on average. I've spent a LOT of time on this stone. I'm still no expert myself, but I can easily get a shaving edge with this stone. And at this price you couldn't beat it with a stick!
