SHARPAL
About SHARPAL

Sharpal Inc. is a leading manufacturer of professional and patented multifunction knife and tool sharpeners for the outdoor and sports, garden and workshop, and culinary and kitchen industries. For more than 25 years we have been passionately researching and developing quality products, which provide consumers with an easy and cost-effective way to obtain a sharp edge.

SHARPAL Diamond Sharpening Stone-the fastest and most effective way to sharpen an edge!

Use and Care

There is a ‘break-in’ period for diamond sharpeners. When first use, the surface will appear to be especially rough. This roughness is due to the final manufacturing process and will be removed over time without impacting performance. As the diamond surface wears down, more and more diamond grits are exposed and the sharpener cuts faster.

  • Sharpen dry. No messy oil needed
  • Initial break-in
  • Rough work – coarser grit; Fine work – finer grit
  • Do NOT apply too much pressure. Let the Diamond do the work.
  • Clean surface and wipe DRY after use
  • Store DRY

How to Use

sharpening stone

sharpening stone

  1. Select the appropriate side of diamond whetstone based on the condition of your blade. If your knife blade or tools to be sharpened merely need a touch-up or dressed edge, use only the 1200 grit (9 micron) side.
  2. Put the Angle Pyramid sharpening angle guide on one end of the stone. Choose the correct angle according to your knife or tools. Lean the heel of the blade on the desired angle of sharpening angle guide in a perpendicular or slightly angled position to the stone. (Fig. 1)

PUSH the blade AWAY from you like you are trying to carve a thin slice off the top of the stone. Push the knife blade across the stone as you push to sharpen the cutting edge all the way out to the tip of the blade (See Fig. 2). Repeat this PUSHING stroke several times. Remember to hold the angle as you push and try to maintain a consistent sharpening angle with each stroke. This is the key to obtaining the sharpest cutting edge.

Next, place the sharpening angle guide on the other end of the stone to sharpen the other side of your blade. Again, lean your blade on the angle guide to get the correct sharpening angle (See Fig. 3).

PULL the blade TOWARD you like you are trying to carve a thin slice off the top of the stone. As you pull the blade down the length of the stone, pull the blade across the stone to sharpen the entire cutting edge. Let the tip come off the edge of the diamond stone (See Fig. 4). Repeat this PULLING stroke the same number of times as you did on the opposite side of your blade and try to maintain a consistent sharpening angle with each stroke.

Continue sharpening both sides of your blade until you feel that your blade is truly sharp. If you started with Coarse 325 grit (45 micron) side, move to 1200 grit (9 micron) side, repeating the sharpening process.

123 customers mention113 positive10 negative

Customers like the performance of the knife sharpener. They mention that it works well, is a good product, and is good at accomplishing its objective. The case serves well as a stand to hold the stone, and it holds the stone in place very well with no play. It cuts really well and gets a great working edge on tools. The abrasive plate works well and performs consistently without any loss of adbrasion.

"...Accessories feel cheap, but they're surprisingly well designed and functional. 6in plate is alright, but really try to get the 8in version if you can." Read more

"...The base/case works very well...." Read more

"I've had this stone for 4 years now. It has been a good work horse for all of my cutting implements...." Read more

"...It was surprisingly easy to do this...." Read more

"...Ease of use and value I gave 5 stars. The size is nice. DMT is way too small for me...." Read more

31 customers mention31 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the knife sharpener. They mention that the 325 grit side cuts worn areas quickly and evenly, while the coarse and fine sides are great for establishing a beveled edge. The gritting differential is appropriate, and the stone cuts easily and well. Overall, customers are happy with the quality and performance of this sharpening tool.

"...Comparing plates themselves, SHARPAL has much more consistent grit than DMT and requires less wear-in before it's useful...." Read more

"...And like all diamond plates, this one cuts fast. Even the hardest steel has to submit to this hoss of a sharpener.Nice and flat...." Read more

"...The 325 grit cuts worn areas quickly and evenly. The 1200 side is used to more or less polish the flat surface to a near mirror likeness...." Read more

28 customers mention24 positive4 negative

Customers like the size of the knife sharpener. They mention that it's the right size, the stone fits snugly in the holder, and it sits very well in the included container. The sharpening plate is long and wide enough to handle most sized jobs, and the fit and finish are above reproach.

"...has a handy cutout to hold the "angle finder" pyramid and holds the plate perfectly still while sharpening due to its foam rubber bottom...." Read more

"...I hate short stroking on an itty bitty stone. This plate is nice and wide, and nearly long enough to satisfy me. No corners have been cut...." Read more

"...For someone like me, it’s definately a bonus. And, it’s small. So, I take with me when I’m out, just toss it in my pocket...." Read more

"...Nothing about this product feels cheap or flimsy. The diamond plate firmly sits on top of the case, and the rubber bottom holds the entire assembly..." Read more

28 customers mention16 positive12 negative

Customers are mixed about the flatness of the knife sharpener. Some mention that it's well designed, flat as can be, and the grits seem accurate. Others however, say that it is not perfectly flat and is not as good for flat truing of blades as they had hoped.

"...it's also diamond stone so you get that nice fast cutting, and no need to flatten...." Read more

"...By the time it is wearing down to nothing, the surface is out of flat anyway, and you would never be able to lap it flat...." Read more

"...Well.........This one is as flat as glass from end to end, side to side!The 325 grit cuts worn areas quickly and evenly...." Read more

"...It is not as good for flat truing of blades as I had hoped...." Read more

29 customers mention0 positive29 negative

Customers are not satisfied with the durability of the knife sharpener. They mention that the surface wears off quickly, the diamond coating wears out quite quickly, and the edges have some wear. The fine side became uneven as random sections of diamond grit flaked off. The gritting began to peel after 2 weeks of use. It feels as though all the griit is worn off and the coarser side starts peeling off.

"On receipt has some wear on edges from failure of product packaging. Would have been nice to start out without issues...." Read more

"...it I saw the the fine side of it had some scuff marks and scratches along the edges and it also seams to have some grit contamination...." Read more

"...More worrying is the fact that it seems to be losing its surface (see pictures)...." Read more

"...Also it was discolored and ugly. Instead of throwing it out, I just decided to try and flatten a cheap silicon carbide stone ...." Read more

Unexpected quality
5 Stars
Unexpected quality
Purchased 3x8 version with 340:1200 grit (i think) took longer than shipping predicted but did arriveHeard about these kind of two sided stones having multiple contamination (large grit making it onto the small grit side)Mine looks VERY clean and consistent. Amateur sharpener here. But nice case easy to use with the grip pad and angle assistance.
