Diamond Machining Technology, Inc.’s, Diamond Steels^™ respond to all of the knife maintenance of the professional kitchen. These versatile tools quickly hone cutting edges to perfection. At the same time, they align those edges, so that the sharpened blades cut straight and true.

A DMT® Diamond Steel^™ resembles a butcher’s steel, or "sharpening" steel, that has been in common use for decades. But a Diamond Steel^™ has twice the capability of a butcher’s steel. A butcher’s steel will align bent edges, but it will not sharpen. Sharpening demands the removal of minute amounts of metal to restore the blade’s wedge-shaped cutting edge. A Diamond Steel^™ both sharpens and aligns.

A Diamond Steel^™ sharpens because it is coated over its entire non-porous surface with precision-sized and uniform-shaped monocrystalline diamond. A few gentle strokes will both sharpen and align. This easy-to-use tool comes in 10", 12", and 14" lengths in either extra-fine (for a polished blade) or fine (for regular applications) diamond grit. It is equipped with a comfortable plastic handle, an ample hand guard, and a color-coded handing ring:

• Green – extra-fine
• Red – fine

Diamond Machining Technology, Inc. manufactures a full line of diamond sharpening tools for sporting, home, and workshop applications, including the innovative Diafold® family of sharpeners and the double-sided DuoSharp^™.
