DMT A-PROKIT Aligner Prokit Diamond Sharpener - Multi-Colour

I purchased the aligner to use whilst in Zambia - normally uses a Lansky. I used it to sharpen my knife with a CPM S30V blade. Struggled a bit to get the correct angle and stroke but in the end I got the knife much sharper than with the Lansky and in about half the time. The knife still had an edge so I only used the fine stone. The DMT stones seems to be more aggressive and with the fine stone achieved a smooth edge. I saw some reviews people were saying the knife looses the edge quicker I could not verify that, as a matter of fact in my case the edge retention was similar or maybe even better than the with the Lansky but the knife was definitely sharper. Would however preferred the blade holder and to be made out of a more robust material. The angle adjusters have more control on the blade angles although the adjusters appear to be flimsy. Overall I am very satisfied with the product and it works well.

Very good

Flimsy guide rod snapped immediately, cheap plastic construction

I was a bit skeptical about this type of sharpener because I have always sharpened my pocket knives on a whetstone. Am I glad I decided to buy the DMT Aligner Prokit. It sharpens so much quicker than my whetstone kit. I had some old Kitchen knives that were very dull but this sharpener brought them back to sharper than new. My newer set of Kitchen knives were also sharper than new. Especially after using my Beavercraft strop which is also a great product. Once you figure out the best position or on longer knives positions and find the proper angle it is very easy to get a...Not going to use the old cliche "Sharp as a razor"...but as sharp as a kitchen knife should be to hold an edge. It also makes it easy to re-profile a knife. I put a sharper angle on an old meat cleaver and now use it to dice vegetables so i can scoop them off the cutting board to put in pan/bowl. Highly recommended for people that haven't sharpened knives before.

A great system, a must for hard to sharpen knife steels like M-4 and S90V. This kit and a strop will take any knife to shaving sharp, even if you don't know what your doing there is a great little instruction manual that comes with it. Also the stones should last the average person a life time, great quality diamond stones, the best I have come across so far.

Buen producto, cumple con su función al 100

Ich habe direkt verschiedene Messer vom kleinen Klapper bis hin zum Chefkoch-Messer geschärft. Darunter waren Stähle von C, D und Carbon, über Balbachdamast bis M380. Alle waren am Ende scharf wie Rettich und ein altes Butterbroteisen habe ich über blau, rot, grün zum Rasierer geschliffen. Gleich probiere ich mal, ob das auch mit einer Gabel so gut geht.... Richtig gutes Produkt. Einfache Handhabung. Ergebnis wie gepließt!
