Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT DMGEF Diafold Magna-Guide Sharpening System
Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently bought this Alignment system and a separeate coarse/extra coarse Diafold sharpener to replace two DMT whetstones I'd been using for years. This does a MUCH better job than whetstones because you can keep your sharpening angle constant. This product is better than the upgraded kit that includes finer grit sharpeners because you really don't need anything beyond extra fine (most of DMT's sharpening recommendations don't go beyond FINE), and with the money you save you can buy a coarse/extra coarse Diafold and that DOES make a difference because with the extra coarse grit you can put a new edge on a dull knife really quick. After I got it I put new edges on 10 kitchen knives, and they are the sharpest they've ever been. With the adjustable alignment tool you can put a double or even triple bevel edge on your knives, and this makes a lot of difference. I used the 6 and 5 settings to put a double beveled edge on my slicers, utility and paring knives, and the 5 setting to sharpen the chef's knives. I used all 4 grits on each knife and they are literally scary sharp. And I think the edges will last longer the way they are sharpened. It's true that the parts are mostly plastic but unless you're a professional who might sharpen knives more than monthly I think it will last quite awhile. And if the guide should break or wear out these can be bought separately for only a few dollars. This is a very good investment in a good knife sharpener. The only reason I didn't give it 5 was I thought the guide could be made of metal with rubber jaws. That would make it more expensive, but they could sell it as the Super Deluxe version.

The Diafold Magna-Guide Sharpening System features an Aligner Blade Guide that works in conjunction with the MAG to keep the blade at the ideal angle for sharpening. There are a total of seven angle settings, so it will work with practically any blade size. The deep clamp design securely holds blades up to 3/8-inch in thickness while sharpening, and its engineered resin won't mar or scratch the blade of the knife like metal clamps can.
The Diafold Sharpener offers two 4-by-1-inch Diamond Whetstone surfaces that are protected by plastic covers when not in use. One side of the Whetstone is a fine diamond surface (25 micron / 600 mesh) for getting that razor-sharp edge. On the other side of the Diafold sharpener is the extra-fine diamond surface (9 micron / 1200 mesh) for super-refined edges and polishing. The innovative DMT Diamond Whetstones require no oil; simply sharpen dry or with water.
The Magna-Guide Sharpening System is not only easy to use, but it's also extremely safe. The Aligner Clamp, MAG, and Diafold work together in perfect harmony to produce the perfect edge on any blade while at the same time keeping your hands away from the blade. Let the DMT Diafold Magna-Guide Sharpening System do the work for you!
