The Atoma Advanced Diamond Sharpening Plate #600 Grit is an excellent option for sharpeners looking for a replacement for whetstones in the #500 to #800 grit range. It provides the benefits of a coarse sharpening whetstone but with extended durability and a flat surface that never needs flattening.
Whetstones in this grit range are considered coarse sharpening stones that can effectively restore dull knives. However, they are generally softer and wear out faster compared to #1000 grit stones. The Atoma #600 diamond plate offers the perfect balance, combining the advantages of a coarse sharpening whetstone with superior longevity.
To use the plate, mount your whetstone in a stone holder and rub the Atoma plate on top of the whetstone in various directions until the stone is effectively lapped.
Atoma Diamond Sharpening Plates are products of Tsuboman, a superb Japanese manufacturer renowned for their refined diamond products. These plates are made of mono-crystalline diamonds with a cutting abrasive surface mounted on a 10mm thick stainless steel base. The base is machined to be extremely flat, ensuring the diamond plate remains flat throughout its use.
The quality and durability of Atoma plates are among the highest available on the market. They feature precision-made surfaces with high uniformity, maintaining their flatness even after prolonged sharpening sessions. The diamond plate can be replaced after a few years without purchasing another baseplate, as they are adhered using strong double-sided tape.
Atoma Diamond plates can be used dry or with water, depending on personal preference.
