FAQ's

1. What is a diamond knife sharpener?
A diamond knife sharpener uses industrial diamond grit bonded to a surface, offering fast and efficient sharpening for all types of blades.

2. Are diamond knife sharpening stones better than regular whetstones?
Yes, diamond stones cut faster, last longer, and can sharpen harder steels compared to traditional whetstones.

3. Can I use a diamond knife sharpener rod on kitchen knives?
Absolutely. Diamond rods are excellent for honing and sharpening kitchen knives to keep them razor sharp.

4. How to sharpen a knife with a diamond sharpener?
Hold the knife at the correct angle (usually 15–20 degrees) and draw the blade evenly across the diamond surface, repeating on both sides.

5. Do diamond sharpeners wear out?
They last much longer than ceramic or whetstone sharpeners, though heavy use over many years can gradually reduce their abrasiveness.

6. Are diamond knife sharpening tools safe for expensive knives?
Yes, as long as you maintain the correct angle and use light pressure, they’re safe for even high-end blades.

7. Can I use a diamond sharpener on serrated knives?
Yes, but it requires a narrow diamond rod or tapered sharpener to fit into the serrations.

8. What grit diamond sharpener should I choose?
Coarse grit is for dull or damaged edges, medium for regular sharpening, and fine/extra-fine for polishing razor-sharp edges.

Most diamond sharpeners work dry or with a little water. Oil is generally not recommended.
