Atoma Diamond Sharpener Coarse Grade 140

Love these plates ,,, perfect for honing

Very happy with how quickly this flattens my 1000 grit whetstone.I was considering the atoma 400, but very glad I didn't because it would take me a lot longer to flatten my stone with the 400.So if you're unsure which to go for..you will be very happy with the 140 grade over the 400!If you're wanting to flatten a whetstone with a much higher grit, say above 5000 grit, then maybe opt for the 400 instead.

If you are willing to pay for quality, this is the diamond whetstone to get. Make sure you get the correct coarseness grade.

Quick to re-profile your knifes with little effort. Worth every penny.

Perfectly flat, exactly as described, perfect for flattening finer stones

Great for leveling your stones, saves your time massively if you're professional chef. I use it on my chosera's and shapton stone's. It can leave small scratches on them, but after few strokes with your knife they gone. I have Japanese single bevel knifes, so I really need my stones flat and that atoma is massive help.

This works well for sharpening and flattening. If you have chips in the iron I would use some sandpaper first at 80 or 120 grit but after that, this, a 400 and a 1200 before a strop will get your tools sharp.

i was expecting a level tool because of the reputation and the work it is designed to do. however my plate appears to be slightly bent. i have tested it by eye, squares, straight edges, spirit levels, brand new japanese whetstones and any other relatively flat tools that i own. the result is always a slight curve in the same direction. i dont know ow i am supposed to true a whetstone with a wonky atoma
