The DMT Diamond Whetstone™ range is convenient and versatile - sized to suit a wide variety of general knife and tool sharpening needs. With video demonstrations on how to sharpen knives and tools, helping you to achieve the best results. Secateurs become blunt with use and misuse, making them difficult to use and causing damage when pruning.Available in seven shapes and two grain sizes offering the solution to finishing problems where material hardness makes conventional files ineffective. There are several types of garden knives, each with their own purpose and differently shaped blade: a general garden knife is a traditional pocket knife; a pruning knife has a curved blade; a grafting knife has a rectangular blade. Only DMT can manage the extreme hardness of ski and snowboard edges and quickly remove the super hard edge burrs that result from rock damage and man-made snow.

It provides longer sharpening strokes than traditional slip stones and because of its unique design it can sharpen nearly all tools with curved edges. Flexi-Sharp® Sheets are diamond coated on one side and are available in two sizes (1x2 inch and 2x3 inch) and a range of grit types. This is due to the absence of small holes found in interrupted diamond stones, in which small and pointed tools can get stuck. Check with every sweep of the stone, looking for newly shiny metal that is smooth, sharp and evenly exposed.

These portable multi-purpose diamond sharpeners enclose a 4 inch (100mm) Diamond Whetstone™ within convenient folding plastic handles. Put a few drops of general purpose oil or a smear of Vaseline onto the central pivot and spring, to improve movement and reduce stiffness. Apply a couple of drops of general purpose oil to the abrasive side of the stone or soak in water for 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of stone. You can buff along the blade in a circular motion, but do finish with a couple of sweeps to smooth the metal in one direction.

As with secateurs, garden knives can be sharpened with a whetstone, diamond tool or sharpening steel. To help with sharpening the blade evenly, mark it with a marker pen, this will be removed as you sharpen and highlight missed sections of blade. DMT diamond stones and edge tuners have become the standard for many medal-winning skiers and snowboarders. Although a majority of our deliveries are completed within 48 hours, there might be occasional extensions up to 5 working days due to unforeseen Royal Mail operations or other exigencies. Either type is suitable for sharpening blades like knives and secateurs, just ensure the correct lubrication is used, otherwise the stone will spoil.

Use the fine side of the diamond sharpener to give a smooth finish to the blade;2-3 sweeps should do it. Others could be sharpened with general sharpening tools but this is a tricky job if the blades do not come apart or the shears are very blunt. It is a good idea to have a best pair for pruning and a cheap second pair for jobs like cutting back herbaceous plants.DMT Diamond Wave™ - the revolutionary new diamond sharpener that combines both convex and concave abrasive surfaces. A light application will create a highly polished, mirror finish, reducing tool friction for a sharper, stronger edge.
