Description of DMT DS2E 12-Inch Diamond Steel Sharpening Rod, Extra Fine Grit
Get your knives back into the shape you bought them in with this 12" Diamond Steel. The fast honing diamond surface has a realigning function with the convenience of traditional butcher's steel. The Extra-Fine diamond (9 micron/1200 mesh) will give your knife and other dull tools a razor sharp edge. This tool has a black, easy to grip, plastic handle with large guard that makes sharpening comfortable and safe. The color-coded ring makes it easy for grit designation and to easily hang. No messy oils needed, you can either sharpen dry or with water. Durable construction will provide years of consistent performance and reliable sharpening for the right angle every time. Assembly level/degree of difficulty: No Assembly Required. Made in AmericaFor professionals and home cooks who are confident in their technique, this sharpening rod is a quick and effective way to hone and gently realign the folded-over edge of a knife blade. The rod's surface is coated with diamond dust, the hardest and most abrasive material for honing knives, requiring only a few strokes with light pressure while holding the blade at a 20-degree angle. The extra-fine grit on this rod is appropriate for frequent touch-ups or as a final honing step to polish an edge that has already been sharpened on a coarser grit. A steel should always be longer than the blade it is honing and, at 12 inches long, this diamond sharpening rod can be used to maintain all kitchen knives. The steel has a sanitary black plastic handle with a guard to protect hands. Its pointed end affixes into a cutting board to hold the rod still for honing and has a rubber cap that safely covers the point when the rod in-between uses. There is a color-coded ring at the end for hanging the steel up and also for quickly identifying the grit size among a collection of DMT sharpeners of varying grits. DMT generously vows to replace any product found to be defective free of charge. --Cristina Vaamonde
Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT DS2E 12-Inch Diamond Steel Sharpening Rod, Extra Fine Grit
Customer Review: Seems to work fine
Summary: 5 Stars
I had only a ceramic 8' rod to initially use. But it only got the blade moderately sharp. Now I can finish off w/this 12' Diamond fine rod that came in mail last week. The diamond steel really puts a good finished edge on the blade now. I just use the diamond rod sparingly cause other reviews mention the diamonds may wear off. But I really can tell the difference the diamond rod puts on the finished edge. I was disappointed with only a ceramic rod. Now I use both rods together and am pleased with the edges in can put on my knives. I wasted some money on a few pre-made sharpeners where you draw you blade thru V notches and such. Kind of a waste of money if you want a really sharp edge. Those might work for dinner steak knives, ect. But I want my pocket knifes and carving knives really sharp. This diamond edge does the trick for me much better.
This steel was kind of pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for sometimes.
Good luck to you. It is was a trial and error process for me.
