A Great Single Solution for Keeping Knives Sharp
By P. Corning
DMT sharpening stones are durable, fast, and easy to use and clean. Some knife purists think of them as crude, and worry that they take too much metal off too quickly (just use a lighter touch and you'll be fine). If you just want to keep kitchen knives, pocket knives and chisels sharp with minimal effort they are a very effective solution.The 10" surface of this product is much easier to use, faster and more enjoyable than the 6" ones. More room to work with means you can take a longer stroke and cover the entire blade without worrying about sliding off the surface. The size is also a drawback - it won't fit easily in a kitchen drawer, at least not if you want to keep other tools in there. I store mine in a cabinet among cooking vessels.Dual surfaces (fine/extra-fine) make it easy to take a tool from somewhat dull to razor sharp without keeping track of multiple stones. It is fairly easy to switch between the two surfaces (just slide the stone out of the stand, flip it, and slide it back in).The stand is stable on a counter, and the rubber feet keep it in place well.If you want the simplest solution, go for a 6" stone. If you can pay more, this larger version is well worth the price for convenience, speed and the pleasure of having more room.

By M. jones
I need to sharpen a head knife and read somewhere to purchase the largest sharpening surface area one can afford. People who use this will appreciate its size. I received mine without the base (it was quickly remedied by the seller) and buyers need to know that the slab is not nearly as easy to use without the base.The "fine" side is sufficiently coarse to put an edge on a dull knife. the "extra fine" side is so smooth i was skeptical that it did anything at all. But it hones a superfine hair-shaving edge to my blades.This thing beats the pants off stones because the surface doesnt wear like stone, and needs no lube.IMO (even if i'm mildly obsessive about my blades) this is the best sharpener for typical knife maintenance (should be for $125!). And though it might be a little overkill for the typical household, it is a joy to use and i expect it to last a lifetime.

By L. R. B.
The bench really does have two positions that will accept both the 10 inch and 8 inch "stones". Used this to sharpen some hand plane blades. The 10 inch allows way more room for the blade but even the 8 inch is more than adequate. I used water with the stones which seemed to better float the metal particles than would using it dry.
