Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT FWFC Double Sided Diafold Sharpener Fine / Coarse
Customer Review: It works, be patient
Summary: 5 Stars
I fish inshore and offshore frequently and need to clean fish of all sizes - and need a razor sharp knife. I tried regular stones, steels and electric sharpeners before buying this Diafold Sharpener.
At first I didn't like it because it was a little tricky to get the right technique on the blade. I got good results, but couldn't get it to give me the right edge for about 2 weeks. Be patient and try different angles, pressures and motions between the knife and Diafold.
I found that if you hold the Diafold and knife at a 45 degree angle (make an X) and then use a circular motion with your knife, it gets the best results. It just takes time to learn the feel of this tool.
Be patient, it works.
Customer Review: Works great. Takes a bit of practice.
Summary: 5 Stars
The coarse side really gets blades back into form. I use this differently than most as I grip the handle with the sharpening part point down at an angle I want to sharpen and then brace the bottom part. Then I just go straight up and down with the knife. The fine side gets knives to a nice sharp point, but often I find the coarse is good enough for most purposes and leaves some 'bite' to the blade. If you need help keeping an angle, they make a magnetic angle guide. Just a really versatile sharpener. One complaint that is easily rectified...I kept forgetting which was coarse...blue or red. I just used a sharpie to mark it on the handle.Customer Review: Sharpens quickly.

I bought this as my wife had a diamond sharpener and her carving knifes are sharper than mine even though I used a whetstone and file. When it came from Amazon I sharpened my Beretta 2.5 inch, VG10 stainless, folding pocket knife,Trident model
in about 2 minutes. The small depressions in the sharpener, are there for the purpose of catching the metal dust and filings and keeping the surface clean so the
Diamonds in the surface can do their work. That was an excellent idea. The blade was so sharp, that drawing it across my forearm, the hair was cut clean to the surface. You won't go wrong with buying this sharpener.
Customer Review: By Far The Best And Easiest
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased this sharpener and instantly put it to use.I have a CRKT Zytel M16 knife that the steel is so hard I could not sharpen to my liking.I stroked both sides of the blade with the coarse side a few times and switched to the fine side,its worked great,the knife is now very sharp with minimum of honing.In my opinion this is the best knife sharpener I have used,and I have a few-coarse Arkansas and fine,also a Lansky system and I find this the fastest and easiest to use.I give it a +1,buy it you wont regret the purchase.Customer Review: Portable, quick and convenient
Summary: 5 Stars
The handle is sturdy enough for the intended uses. The coarse side is good for repairing a very worn or chipped edge, and the fine side is perfect for putting a good working edge on any knife or edged tool. Please note that diamond sharpeners remove metal fast -- use this item carefully and stop frequently to check your progress, particularly on non-stainless steels. The butterfly handle is a wonderful feature, protecting the sharpening surfaces from dirt and damage and making the tool compact and easy to include in a toolbox.
