Frequently Asked Questions

Do DMT diamond sharpeners need oil or water?

No, DMT sharpeners can be used dry, though some users prefer a light spray of water to clear away metal filings. This makes them exceptionally convenient for site work and reduces mess in your workshop.

How long do DMT diamond sharpeners last?

With proper care, DMT sharpeners can last for decades of regular professional use. The diamond surface is incredibly durable and won't wear out like traditional whetstones, making them a sound long-term investment.

Which grit should I choose for general knife sharpening?

For most knife maintenance, start with a coarse grit (red colour code) for reshaping or repairing damaged edges, then progress to fine (blue) for regular sharpening and extra-fine (green) for polishing and honing.
