DMT® Diamond Sharpening Specialists with 40+ years experience

Cabinet Making, Carpentry, Woodworking & DIY

This super picture shows a selection of the finest Diamond Sharpeners in the world! The original 6” Polka
Dot Whetstone (A) patented some 40 years ago has never been matched despite being copied countless times. The first Diamond Honing Cone was made for Dave Powell’s dentist to sharpen curved dental tools and when he brought one to me in the UK around 40 years ago I introduced it into the woodworking world here for sharpening gouges.

As you scroll down the page you’ll find the DuoSharp® range first and then the less expensive Dia-Sharp® range which still gives you far superior performance & longevity than any of the competition and may suit your budget better. And remember, you don’t always need a big surface area to be able to sharpen woodworking tools. As I tell hundreds of people at shows every year “If you can move it on diamond, you can sharpen it!” So if your budget is a bit thin, take a look at the 6” Dia-Sharp® Whetstones or the 6” DMT® Polka Dot Whetstones and perhaps start to sharpen the German way! (They sharpen in a circular motion by the way).

Double Sided Diamond Whetstone with a choice of grit combinations.
Size: 10" x 4" x 0.375" (250mm x 100mm x 10mm) available with or without a DuoBase™.

10” x 4” DuoSharp®
with DuoBase™

The DMT® DuoSharp® range.
The Ultimate Bench Whetstone sharpening choice.
There is simply nothing else to equal the quality, precision and longevity of these fantastic Diamond Whetstones. And taking these three most important things into account DMT® DuoSharp® Whetstones are not really expensive.
When you compare the advantages they offer you they must be considered a very wise investment as they’ll give you many years of sharpening perfection and personal satisfaction.

DMT® Dia-Sharp® Bench Whetstones are made with the same care and with the same quality of finely graded mono-crystalline diamond as the DuoSharp® range above. They are precision engineered to a superior flatness than anything similar on the market and will outlast any of the competition to give you superb value for money.
A continuous diamond surface has its advantages over the polka dot system when sharpening small and pointed tools or woodturning gouges for example but obviously the whetstones are much heavier if they need to be carried about. They are also less expensive to make.
Other than the handy 6” x 2” size which are available double sided all the rest are single sided and come with non slip feet.
StarkieSharp offer Leather Sheaths, not only to protect the surface while in a tool bag but to use with our Honing Paste to give a fantastic polished finish to your tools without requiring any skill so that anyone can achieve superb professional results.
Look for the added value deals which include Honing Paste and an 8x Magnifier so you can study your edge before and during sharpening!

and is available in Extra Fine/Fine, Fine/Coarse and Coarse/Extra Coarse combinations.
Note: In view of the advantage of the DuoSharp®plus™ Whetstones we do not stock
and can’t see the point in having the same grits in the basic DuoSharp® models.
