Diamond Sharpeners

Because diamonds are the hardest substance known to man, diamond abrasive sharpeners are fast, durable, and very effective. Diamonds are captured in a nickel plating process to bond with a metal substrate. Premium diamond sharpening surfaces are characterized by a unique interrupted surface that collects and hold the metal filings that ordinarily build-up on the sharpening surface and obscure the diamond abrasive. Excellent for use on very hard tools or stainless steel. Diamond stones always remain flat and will even sharpen carbides.

Coarse Diamond (325 Grit) = Aggressive surface that removes large amounts of metal.

Medium Diamond (400 Grit) = Less aggressive surface that removes moderate amounts of metal.
Good starting point for blades that are somewhat, but not overly, dull and still have a
consistent edge.

Fine Diamond (750 Grit) = Least aggressive diamond surface that removes any remaining burrs and puts a razor sharp edge on the blade. Excellent for maintaining an already sharp edge.

Many of Smith’s sharpeners, from our gourmet electric models to traditional diamond bench stones, feature multiple layers of micronsized moncryystalline diamonds for guaranteed razor-sharp results every time. Check out our wide selection at Smith’sEdge.com.
