DMT DiaSpray Diamond Suspension .5 Micron

My hobby is (buying and) sharpening Japanese kitchens knives. I use the standard process of 1000 grit stone, then 4-5000, then finish on 8-12,000 grit. All on Japanese or Norton waterstones. To finish the knife edge to my (mildly OCD) perfectionist standard, I strop the knives. For this I use leather, MDF or very smooth pine boards. In all cases, I add diamond paste or spray to the strop. This abrasive is very important, as it removes the very fine burr, and polishes the edge. Of all the diamond products I have used - DMT diamond spray is one of the best. A few light sprays, allow to dry. Works wonders. Polished razor edges. I have seen complaints about the price !! Well - with a superior product, one pays the going price.

In spite of all the things written about natural diamonds, staying sharp by fracturing during use, exposing new sharp surfaces, that is hooey. The part they leave out is the part that fractured off isn't dull. DMT are manufactured flawless diamonds, more expensive that natural diamonds, and they do not dull nor fracture/wear away. For stropping it is a rather moot point because the diamonds are not bonded to anything. I like manmade diamonds in the application so my strop doesn't feel second place to the bench stones. (lol) This on a smooth leather strop keep my S45VN pocket knife nice and sharp. A couple back and forthes on the strop on the days I use the knife, has been just getting sharper since the last time I sharpened. I expect going to 6 months between sharpenings based on my early results. Actually sharpens a tad, not simply restoring the edge, is what it's doing for me so far, a couple months in. Followed instructions to the t, 2 or 3 sprays after shaking well on a 3x9 inch strop. Doc guarantees me 35 more years, I won't use half the bottle in that time.

Perfect for spraying on a strop and keeping that sharp edge on my razors.

An absolute must have if take pride in your sharpening abilities. Very good quality and consistency from drop to drop. The applicator is the best part. Not being able to control your output is a bigger problem for other products than you may think. Great stuff.

Very effective removing all the burr, the sharpness lasts much longer.

DMT makes great products.I have the mini stone sharpening kit and a decent strop. This compound gives that little cherry on top during stroping and gets the burrs cleared and leaving a great edge.

The spay pump SUCKS! It barely sprays and leaks out all over the bottle, so I end up rubbing the side of the bottle on my strop in order to get some of the liquid on it. Would probably give 5 stars if the spray bottle didn't SUCK.

Seems ok but can see the lower price equals less diamond concentration it appears as the spray has to go n heavier to notice anything when buffing. Will work just will go thru faster than expected.

Pump spray didn’t work so pretty useless - can’t get it out of the bottle

all good

Ich habe mich lange vom höheren Preis des Diamant-Compounds abschrecken lassen und stattdessen zu festen Chromoxid-Compounds gegriffen. Diamant führt jedoch, vor allem bei modernen Pulvermetallurgischen Stählen schneller zu besseren Ergebnissen.

Die Spraydose ist eine Katastrophe. Sie ist undicht alles ist mit dem Spray voll. Gerade wenn es benutzt wird.2 Sterne weil zum abledern ist es großartig. Kaufen werde ich es sicher kein zweites Mal.

Good product
