8″ Diamond Sharpening System | Smiths Diamond Tri-Hone
Question from customer via “Ask the Expert“
I like the Arkansas tri-stone but I need it in an 8″ not a 6″. Is such a thing available?
Expert Reply from Smith’s:
Thank for your inquiry. We just released this year a new eight inch Diamond Tri-Hone Sharpening System as part of our Edgesport™ Pro Series line of sharpeners. It is slightly different than the six inch “Arkansas tri-stone” you are referring to in that the new version comes with two 8” x 2.5” interrupted surface diamond stones (Coarse – 325 Grit & Fine – 750 Grit) and one 8” x 2.5” Natural Arkansas stone. As you know, the six inch Tri-Hone Three Stone Sharpening System you were referring to comes with two Natural Arkansas stones (Medium & Fine) and one synthetic stone (Coarse).
The Diamond Tri-Hone Sharpening System (item # 50008) is available for review and purchase from Smith’s® via our website or by contacting our Customer Service department at 800-221-4156. If there is anything else you need, please feel free to contact a Customer Service Representative, available from 8am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday.
Thanks again for your interest in Smith’s sharpeners and have a wonderful day!
