The **DMT Diamond Sharpening Steel Extra Fine DS2E** is a sharpening steel that will make sure your knives stay sharp. For very blunt knives we recommend a coarser DMT sharpening steel. The sharpening steel has a diameter of 9.5 mm. The cap on the tip of the sharpening steel ensures that, as you sharpen your knife, you can put the sharpening steel on your countertop without it slipping.

## Grain size DMT Sharpening Steel Extra Fine

The sharpening steel has a grain size of 9 micron. This corresponds with a Japanese sharpening stone of approx. J1200 Japanese grit. This grain size provides you with quick results and a very sharp edge. These fast results also ensure you don't have to sharpen your knives on a daily basis. Once a week is enough. The sharpening steel is enhanced with a layer of monocrystalline, synthetic diamonds. Monocrystalline means that each diamond is comprised of one crystal. Unlike polycrystalline diamonds, monocrystalline diamond does not wear out as fast. As such it is great for a sharpening steel! 

## How to use the DMT Sharpening Steel

You can use the DMT sharpening steels with or without water. The advantage of sharpening with water is that the steel is lubricated and the sharpening residue is removed. It's also good to know that a diamond-coated sharpening steel needs to be pre-sharpened. At first it might feel coarse, but this will become less after using the steel a couple times, after which it will have its desired effect. 

## Handle DMT Sharpening steel

The handle is made from a strong plastic and has a high protective edge. This does not only protect your hand as you sharpen your knife, it also ensures you have enough grip. The back of the sharpening steel is enhanced with a plastic ring you can use to hang the sharpening steel.

Pour moi c'est la méthode idéale pour aiguiser mes couteaux ayant une lame courbe.
Le grain est assez fin et donne de bons résultats, j'en suis satisfait.
L'ensemble est de bonne facture et semble solide, prêt à durer de nombreuses années.

Ik gebruik  het aanzet staal regelmatig. Het mes blijft dan veel langer scherp. Prima gereedschap.

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

The material that gives the sharpening stone its abrasive effect. Diamond, ceramics (e.g. aluminium oxide or silicon carbide) or the materials in a natural stone. Read [more about the advantages and disadvantages of these materials](/en/ct/sharpening-stone-materials-which-are-the-best.htm).

Abrasive

stone_binder

The agent that brings all the abrasive particles in a sharpening stone together. The cohesive agent usually consists of natural products, such as cellulose, wax, clay and even magnesium, or synthetic products such as: polyacrylates, polyvinyl alcohol or various synthetic resins. The cohesive agent itself usually has no abrasive effect.
