Trend Craft Pro Double-Sided Diamond Bench Stone, Coarse & Fine Grits, CR/DWS/B6/FC, Black/Silver

This is double sided with different grades of sharpening, and is diamond based so more resistant to wear.

I needed a sharpening stone for my tools seen this went with some of the reviews and what I love about this stone is it has its own housing which makes life a lot easier so you can fasten it to a bench and use it when you need to good value for money would recommend this stone.

I can't believe how well this has sharpened some of my knives. I have little experience of knife sharpening, and I didn't use lapping fluid, just carefully ran the stone along the flat edge of the blade using small, circular motions and the three knives I've tried have exceeded my expectations in how sharp they've become.The first was an Ikea kitchen knife that had just lost its edge. It now slices like a new knife.The second was a kitchen knife my partner's son had used to open cardboard boxes and completely dulled the blade. It's now sharp enough to easily cut yourself on.The third is my penknife. It takes some punishment as it's used almost every day to open sacks of horse food and hay bales, and had reached the point where I had to saw to cut baler twine. Now it cuts through with a single slash.Brilliant piece of kit. I can't imagine how I coped without it.

Excellent quality and fast delivery, delighted with my purchase. Honing woodturning tools.

Effective touch up tool

Trend diamond sharpening card 360/600 particle size, Good quality at a great price for a diamond sharpening plate, credit card sized so easy to handle and use best to use proper lapping fluid but water will help reduce "clogging" if none is available but can cause rusting, dont use oil unless its a very thin lubricant as its quite often thicker than the micron size of the diamonds so reduces the sharpening process.

Easy to use and great for chisels, router bits and planes (probably much more too). The course side removes a lot of material quickly and is excellent for removing blemishes, whilst the fine side puts a sharp edge on the tool.You only need a few drops of lapping fluid to prevent the card from gunging up and after use it is easy to clean under a tap.This is my second card, the first is still going after two years moderate use. Good investment.

Both sides are fairly aggressive. Ideally you need a sleeve to carry it in. Be nice if they supplied one

Very handy product to sharpen in hard to reach places, such as in between small teeth on a bandsaw or circular saw, which is what I use it for. I had one, but it was starting to go dull in certain places, so I bought a new one. Will it stay as flat and true as a thick benchstone model? No, of course not, it is the trade-off you make for a handy light weight model. Same goes for the fact that the diamonds tend to loosen more quickly. A thin plate means less material in which the diamonds can be embedded, but when you need it in tight spots, it needs to be thin. As I said, it is a trade-off. But it’s a very good quality product in it’s class.

J'ai a la maison des pierres diamantées 300 600 1200. le grain fin de la plaque est plus proche du grain 300 que 600.Cette plaque est beaucoup plus rugueuse. Je dirais 150 300.Ce n'est pas un souci en soit pour de l'affutage de secours. Mais je pense qu'il est bon de savoir que cette plaque permettra de refaire des fils endommagés mais ne permettra pas un affutage fin.Pour les outils de jardin c'est parfait.Les grains semblent bien résister à l'affutage. ....pour l'instant.Il faut mouiller un peu la plaque à l'eau ( moi j'ai utilisé du WD40, ça va bien aussi) pour éviter l'encrassage.

Bra att ha vid skogsvandringar då kniven blir slö.

Good Product
