The sharpener is extremely easy to use, and works quite well. I used to have a professional hone my blades, but now I can do just as good a job.

I was used to using ceramic and steel sharpening kits. I'm impressed with the ease of use with the diamond sharpening system. I used it both wet and dry and it performed great both ways. With just about a dozen strokes I was able to sharpen knives that normally take 5 to 10 minutes apiece. It's also so easy to clean after use. Just rinse it under running water and wipe dry. Great Job!

Over the course of many years I have obtained and used a variety of knife sharpeners. The DMT 6" diamond whetstone sharpener is far superior to any other I have used. There is no substitute for sharp knives and there is no substitute for a great sharpener. Just a few quick strokes maintains a great edge. What more can you ask?

Ability to use without oil was great. Clean up is easy and fast. Puts a good edge on knives, even for a novice sharpener.

ease of use, great edge, simple instructions

I was impressed at how fine an edge it put on my filet knife in such an easy way.

This is by far one of the most useful tools to have in any shop. The ease of use is such that even a complete novice can sharpen knives like a pro.

This product is a great sharpener, it is very versatile and easy to use - a must have for every household!
