THE EDGE proSHARP 600 grit diamond plate is designed for THE EDGE proSHARP 10-30° sharpening system but can also be used as a stand-alone sharpening stone. 600 grit is recommended for rough or regular sharpening, depending on how dull/damaged the cutting edge is.
Diamond sharpeners are perfect for sharpening knives with tempered steel blades (CPM-S30V, M390, D2 etc).
Diamond is tougher than tungsten carbide, so the sharpening process is fast and easy, however, it should be noted that metal removal is very fast with diamond sharpening stones.
Note: Do not apply a lot of pressure while sharpening the blade. The weight of the slide (in the sharpening system) or the weight of the knife itself (when using the plate as a stand-alone sharpener) is enough. Clean the plate in warm water with some mild detergent using a nylon brush.
The Edge proSHARP series diamond plates are available in following grits:
- 240 to repair and reshape the cutting edge,
- 600 to sharpen the blade,
- 1000 to hone the blade and quickly sharpen a slightly dull cutting edge.
