DMT 8XXS Diamond Benchstone6913 viewsThe meanest and brutest benchstone of them all - DMT8XXC. Rarely needed for the knives, removes too much metal, too fast too. Use it too often on any knife and it'll be simply gone. One the other hand, for very hard and wear resistant steels like those in Aritsugu Knives this is pretty much the only way.Details in DMT 8XXC diamond benchstone review
