Arrow Diamond edge sharpening!!!

DMT’s products are known for their superior quality and versatility, are easy to use and allow for sharpening in a fraction of the time required by other methods. dmtsharp.com is popular with woodworkers, chefs and gardeners and in the kitchen because they are lightweight and portable.
I use the diamond technology to sharpen knives,tools & gardening tools....what type of sharpening tools do you use? Please let me know.....

I prefer to use a Dennis Sharpener.

Keeps my tools very sharp and is the easiest too!

Sorry, that was a little tongue in cheek. Dennis is a friend of mine.

He does use a water wheel to sharpen my tools though.

Just me personally,,I've tried the diamond stones and can't stand them. I wouldn't insult my chisels using them let alone my pocket knife. Wet stones and a buffer do it for me.

I'm sure many really like them and get a decent edge using them,,to me they are useful as a door stop.

I'm sure you'll get many replies to this question. This is just mine.

matrix123,
Sounds like an advertisment for DMT.
Do you work for them?

I've run the gamet of diamond stones, water stones, oil stones, but the best edge that I've ever had, has come from the Denny Knives sharpening system.....consisting of two wheels, one hard and the other floppy dressed with Denny's special compound. The speed recommended is 3600 rpms....sure works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
