I have many of there plates and love them, I always just break mine in with use. And these seem to last a good while the 2+6 ,3 plates for only 50$, imho breaking them in just strips life from them, I don’t mind them being super coarse for the first few sharpenings
Thanks for the videos man, I just got my first Sebenza and the stuff i have learned from watching you has made me un afraid to use and really truly enjoy this and my other knives.
Nice glad to see you back at it man. I've been waiting for this video for awhile and initially I was disappointed but relieved alittle when it was just high spots. I'm glad the stones are working out for you and hopefully they outdue the dmts. In all fairness too you did say coarse lol I was thinking of that 2200 or 3000 wondering how they are as well. Wishing you all the best if we don't see you before the upcoming holidays man and hopefully the stones serve you well.
Ultra Sharp Diamond plates, Picked up the 300, 600, 1,200. They worked great. I use them to quickly put an edge on very dull knives.. Thanks for the recommendation! Much appreciated.
Man that was nice of him to send you a set, I got the same set and was impressed with the overall quality. Hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving!
Good afternoon, I just wanted to say that this channel has benefit us more than one can think. I have a quick question: Kindly where have you been sir? Are you planning to make any more content. Please let us know and thank you so very much for everything you've done for the sharpening community.
I'm happy with my 600 grit so far. Feels a bit more course than my DMT 600 grit. But it also hasn't seen near the use my dmt 600 has. Glad to see you back. Hope all is well. You're still my boy, Blue. On behalf of your favorite acquaintance, hope you have a great Thanksgiving, Brother.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
Thanks for the review. I'm gonna try the Peter Sellers technique for sharpening my Woodworking tools. He uses EZE lap, but I saw this 3 stone set for 117. I'm gonna go for it thanks.
Hey man! It's been a while since I've been on CZcams but figured I'd swing by and say what's up. I have this same set and for the money they're awesome. One of my plates has a small spot that catches but I'm not going to complain for the price.
Hey Rough Rooster...I am a new subscriber. Your videos are excellent for us beginners. I have watched your oldest video first and have been working forward to your most recent video. I am looking forward to 2021 videos. I have already put your knowledge to use. In one video you mentioned keep away from company called NATURAL WHETSTONE company here in Arkansas, I had just ordered their Black Arkansas. You were right the stone compared to a DANS is o.k. but I also received a DANS Black and Translucent. DANS are much better stones no doubt. So I was getting ready order DMT diamond plates and saw your post on ULTRA SHARP. I ordered the 3 ultrasharp diamond plates. Thanks Gene Brown
This is why im subbed to your channel, its down to earth, no nonsense and no bullshit. Just continue what you do and i'll keep on watching! By the way, i have a scandi grind pukko style blade that has developed a small crack in The edge. It is not a chip yet only a small line If that makes sense. Does my knife need a regrind or can i sharpen it the usual way? Thanks again and take care / Emil
Would you reccommend the 2200 grit stone for use with pocket knives? I just picked up the 600 and 1200. They cut great but seems like the blade isnt cutting as smoothly as it should. Or might that just be part of the break in? I used an old stone to break them in like you show in this video.
Good to see you on. Just wanted to point out that on the last video you put out you talked about the sound the blade make as it goes across the stone. I couldn't hear it in that one but I sure can this time. You get a different set up?
I have the same spot on my coarse "stone". It seems like a too large particle. I have not used mine yet. I hope mine breaks down some otherwise it will leave a scratch. I would not use it to flatten another wetstone due to the particles. I thought about hitting it with a screw driver tip.
I was thinking about those till some greenhorn who quit on trying to sharpen sold me an almost unused d8xx and d8x for nearly nothing given retail. Couldn't come soon enough, my coarse plates were dead and I was lifeboating on big old crystolons. The qc on the xx is not great imo, but the 8x is fine. I may relegate the xx just for lapping other things. They have been making dmt so long they should all leave in a good condition. I have a soft spot for eze laps, but I hate their wood base and the lip. The strangest feeling diamond plates made by someone with a name are probably the lansky ones. The feel is so inconsistent. They work but are so unprogressive in terms of feedback.
What mic and camera do you use? With good headphones I can hear everything, in good stereo. Great and informative video, I guess I'm getting some of those plates!
Is it important to increase the angle as yo move to the tip? I have been assuming that I needed to try to keep it the same. But yours look great and clearly the angle changes as the stroke releases.
I'm curious, what don't you like about how the Atoma plates are set up? I bought a coupe of dmt continuous stones a while back and wasn't too impressed, and I'm looking to get some different continuous diamond stones.
Thank you to the person who made this video possible by donation thesr diamonds stones. Well done! Awesome. Thank you so much for your generosity. Thank you for helping me decide what to update my kit with. You are a legend.🙂👍👍👍🔪🔪🔪🌏🌏🌏 thankyou from the bottom of the world.nz 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Made my day! Glad you're back! I like my UltraSharps so far....problem is, not getting any knives to sharpen due to COVID, I guess. Not ONE hunting knife!
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 You seem like a really honest good guy. I wish you nothing but happiness, health, and of course- great sharpening! Thank you for taking the time to show us about these stones. I'm ordering some.
I saw in another comment that you got rid of these. Did they just never break in? Also, have you found any other diamonds that you like more than the DMTs? Thanks man, I enjoy the videos.
Get your hopes up! I have been using these Ultra Sharp stones for several years now and just love them. I actually bought a second set which I have yet to open but the price point is just to good to pass on.
I ordered a set of these that are 2 by 6.....what grit is the Arkansas stone your using to break in the diamond plates?? I was gonna use some sandpaper...
Ultra Sharp are the bees knees ! Great customer service and very good quality; I also picked up the 2200 and 3000 grit plates just to have and love them. DMT is horrible I bought several plates from them and they were either pitted or peeled off; customer service is non existent - they took down my information and never called me back... I only have one DMT plate and thats the 8000 plate. I ordered my ultra sharps through bestsharpeningstones.com. Hope you enjoy the plates as much as I do ! I know you like your dawn soap and water, but I have GREAT results with the trend lapping fluid with these stones.. then again Im still new at sharpening and have always enjoyed your videos since day 1 !
How did the diamonds hold up long term after years of use on these stones? My DMT plates are about dead so I'm thinking about trying these to replace them.
im pretty sure the ultra sharp plates are courser than the dmt's - even though they have same grit rating, the micron sizes are a little different - dmt has their own grit rating but the ultra sharps follow the JIS - so even when they are completely broken in they will still be courser than the dmt counterparts - also i think ultra sharp also comes from china
So is the 600 now finishing like a 600? Sorry to ask tye question but for some reason I can't read all your reply to my last message. I click on it and my comment doesn't show up.. Thanks, Mike
@@michaelshults7675 It was close to the same as dmt. It is broken in now and seems close enough to 600 grit. But I can't really do a side by side comparison because my dmt 600 is pretty worn out at this point. With diamond plates if you want to you can just break them in with a random chunk of steel. Just keep going until it is cutting the way you want. My old dmt 325 cuts like it's 800 grit at this point.
I have this same set of stones, and I'm impressed with them. I think they are heads above DMT stones, or at least the ones they've been putting out recently. Better quality at a lower price is hard to argue against The only question I can't answer is how they hold up over time, because I've only had them a few months now. I guess time will tell, but so far so good.
Confirmed, I recently bought 7 dmt stones , 8x3 diasharps, 2 out of them have noticeable uncoated patches near edges. Still useable but frustrating to see. I really like venev stones, i have a several different sizes and grits, no issues of any kind.
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 agreed they are pricey. However they are two sided stones so technically not that more expensive than 2 dmts , also should last longer .

How are those diamond plate’s holding up ?
They will definitely slow down a bit as you break them in, or at least the 300 I have did. But I love mine, and well worth the money.
Thanks for the review video. Very comprehensive & informative. Curious how you feel about them after using them for awhile
Don't care for them anymore. They are to. Coarse
