These 200 x 65mm double sided premium quality diamond stones give two options, just by flipping them over. We tested these extensively, medium 400G (36 micron) on one side and fine 1,000G (15 micron) on the other. Nickel plating permanently fixes the diamond particles onto the 8mm thick steel base. A chequered pattern carries away metal particles so maintaining the stone's cutting efficiency. On first use the diamond surface may seem aggressive, this is the same with all diamond sharpening stones. This is called the break-in period and will have no impact to long term performance. After a few sharpenings the stone will smooth. The resulting surface is more than capable of sharpening modern hard steels, ceramic knives as well as traditional tool steels. A protective non-slip rubber surround keeps the stone in place when in use. You can use it dry but it works far better with a splash of water. Review: A very good item - This item was described very well by the seller. It is important to get a mono-crystalline coated steel and this item is excellent quality (as far as I can tell). It flattened my stones well and put a superb edge on my plane iron. Review: Sharpener - Don't expect to much for the price Great to start with but seems to wear quite quickly

Hand chisel Sharpener block
Used in conjunction with a tool to obtain the correct sharpening angles and with a little practice sharpening my chisels was relatively easy. Use with some water helps the process. The diamond coating looks robust but only time will tell if that is the case. Fairly expensive but if it is robust then a price worth paying
