 Diamond Machining Technology CS2 12-Inch Ceramic Steel March 7, 2010
A. Wagner
I have had this product 7 months now. I am not a good knife sharpening person so bear that in mind.
The ceramic is down to the core nearly worn out. This was just used on house hold knives we own.
Thank you
 So far, I've only used it a few times. December 1, 2009

Compared to a much older steel (that cost me a lot less) I use/used, the only difference is it takes less time to put a good edge on my knife. The product is good, but is to expensive.

I thought this was great when I first got it, but soon it started showing wear. Now, after 4 months it is basically useless. The ceramic is worn off and it's a smooth aluminum rod. "...the ceramic is unbreakable, resistant to wearing" that's a laugh. Trash!
Sharpened my knives January 16, 2009

Knives get dull with use. This fella keeps em sharp so I don't have to push hard enough to cause an accident.
My only beef is that the coating on the ceramics, whatever that may be, is white. The knives turn the color either dark, near black, or silver. It seems that the area becomes smoother too. Perhaps this is embeded metal on the sharpener or it is removed sharpening agent, white stuff. I don't know, but it seems to continue to sharpen even with color change.
I only use it for my personal knives, which started out sharp. I have tried it on my parents decades old knives, but was unable to achieve a uniform sharp edge in a short period of time. However, it did sharpen them, but I grew impatient and thought they should have more metal removed faster to get a uniform layer.
I think this sharpener is priced fair or just a little high for its quality.

No offense, but if you are experienced in creating and maintaining a sharp cutting edge, you don't need this review. Just buy it!
If not, here is what you need to know. This tool doesn't sharpen, it hones. And if you hone your knives regularly, you may never, or rarely, need to sharpen them.
Sharpening is the process of creating a new cutting edge; honing refines or restores that edge. In my opinion the steel and diamond tools are sharpening tools and not very good ones. Graduated sharpening stones, or a professional, do a much better job.
I have a set of Katana knives which is over five years old and, with one exception, have never been sharpened, but are all razor sharp. They are honed regularly with a DMT ceramic rod. (The one exception arose as a result of some ill-advised hacking at a unseen bone, which produced large nicks.)
Try this. Take an ordinary butter knife and hold it facing away from you so that a light source will reflect off the blade. (I use the light in a range hood.) As you rotate the knife so that the light reflects off the edge you will see a broad band of reflected light. Dull knife, no cutting edge.
Now do the same thing with your sharpest knife. If it is sharp, you will not be able to see the edge. If you see localized bright spots, it needs to be honed, and this tool is what I would use. If it has large nicks, or it looks like the butter knife, it needs sharpening. Here, a diamond rod may work if nicks are not too large, but it feels to me like a crude way to do something which should be rather precise.
I chose this product primarily for the 12" length, which is helpful for longer knives. After several years of use and occasional cleaning to remove steel dust I am still very happy with its performance.
