Diamond Machining Technology (DMT) Diafold Serrated Diamond Knife Sharpener, Fine (FSKF), 4"

I have this Diafold "Serrated" Knife sharpener in the Fine and Coarse diamond grits, and has thus far been very impressed with the quality of these sharpeners. I originally bought this with just the task of sharpening serrated knife edges in mind, but this sharpener has turned out to be more than just that. First, for the serrated edges - I have two Sypderco knives (Police, Delica) that have a combo serrated edge, and between this and the coarse grit, it works very well on re-honing the edge on the serrated VG-10 edges. Due to the VG-10 being a little more difficult to sharpen, your method has to be steady and you have to stick with it on the fine grit to get a nice edge. For the serrated knives in the kitchen - most of my kitchen knives are much softer and easier to sharpen than the Spyderco serrated edge - so after sharpening the Spyderco's the kitchen knives were a breeze. I used the coarse to get the edge started, then moved to this fine grit to finish it off. Where this sharpener came in handy and as a surprise is when I discovered how well this works on my small pen knives, pocket knives and mostly woodshop tools. It is perfect for pen knives and small pocket knives for touching up an edge - the size of the rounded rod is perfect for control and for small edges. Also, in my woodshop I use exactor knives and other carving / cutting tools that have curved edges For instance, Lee Valley makes a small carving tool with replaceable blades of different shapes / contours - like curved, sloped, straight blades - and these Diafold rod sharpeners turned out to be PERFECT for this application. I have also employed this tool in some of my plane restoration projects when there are tight spots that need a little filing or honing. The uses for this tool seem to increase daily. For instance,I wanted to touch up the edges on my electric hedge trimmer - again, tight spots without a lot of clearance and small edges to sharpen on the hedge trimmer - and this tool again shone in that application. Nice tool, highly recommended if you have any applications like serrated, tight spots, small edges, etc. I own many DMT tools, and the quality does not need to be justified - that is one thing you can rest assured of, that the quality is there. Thanks for reading.

Up until recently, I have been sending out my serrated knives to a service when they needed sharpening. I got the fine diamond blade which is all you will really need if your serrated knives are not too dull to start with and it will get your blades back to factory sharp in short order. It is easy to use and works on serrated knives as well as scissors, vegetable peelers and the like. Do not be surprised by the size or the price, this tool is serious and will give you years of solid use.

Good for sharpening my serrated knives

I seriously wish i could give this product more then 5 stars .. i have always despised serrated edge knives because I could never sharpen them . well i have started making more bread etc needing the serrated knife sharp .. i have an heirloom knife for bread so i had to sharpen this to use .. well this tool is so simple to use i have been pleasantly surprised how well it sharpened my knife . this tool is easy to grip as well the tool does not feel gritty the sharpening part nor did i noticed anything on the knife after i sharpened it like you may see when use a stone to sharpen knives . I have to say this works quit well is an excellent tool as well as a great value .

Update 2/1/17: I The one I received broke on the second use. I called DMT and they sent me a new one, priority mail. They stood behind their product with absolutely no hassles. Even though the first one broke, because of this they still get 5 Stars from me. Update 1/23/17: I recently ordered another one because I lost the first one. Can't really function in my sharpening world without it. I sharpen knives, scissors and garden tools for supplemental retirement hobby income. This tool lets me get into tight spots without having to disassemble garden shears and such. Great for rounded edges that need sharpening and tight spots. Updated 5/3/2017. Ok, so I put too much pressure on it and broke it at the handle. Called the company and they told me they would send a couple of handles as I did this to another one also. Didn't receive anything for abut 10 days....started thinking about it, and in the mail today arrived two new complete of these tapered sharpeners, along with a folding flat file (fine) marked demo. If I had to reduce my tools to a small carry bag, you can be sure this would be in it. If I had to reduce to just one tool in my arsenal, this would be in the final three.

Still a good piece from DMT but they skimped on the handle If you bought it already Keep it!, There are no more of the better older models left anywhere If your looking for something like the old well built model Look elsewhere

It didn't come with a round handle as shown instead it is a plastic foldable rectangular handle. It's not good to use that type of handle.

es muy fina siento que casi no rebaja nada

Although the DMT diamond knife sharpener worked well, the construction is very flimsy and disappointing. Surely, the plastic handles could have been made more sturdy!

La primera impresión en manos es que te has gastado un dineral pensando en que ibas a recibir un producto de calidad y te han enviado algo construido a muy bajo coste y sin cuidar los detalles... su empuñadura plástica es de bajísima calidad... y parece súper endeble... y su sistema de apertura y cierre horroroso... no le doy mucho tiempo de vida... espero que todo esto se vea compensado con la supuesta calidad del diamante que incorpora... aun no le he probado suficiente como para valorar su durabilidad ya que lo recibí ayer pero he creído oportuno adelantaros mis impresiones iniciales porque cuando compre este producto esperaba m7cho más de partida y he de confesar que la primera impresión no ha sido nada buena.
