About this item
- This three stone sharpening system is ideal for quick, easy and effortless sharpening of any blade. The 70mm x 200mm metal stones are electroplated with monocrystalline diamond in three grits, 400G Coarse, 600G Medium and 1000G Fine
- Ideal for general purpose sharpening of knives, scissors, chisels, plane blades, cutting blades, TCT router bits and any tool that requires a sharp edge
- Diamond stones will sharpen carbon steel, HSS and tungsten carbide tools and may also be used to abrade glass, ceramic tiles and porcelain
- The benefit of these stones over a traditional abrasive sharpening stone is that the sharpening surface remains absolutely flat and will not ‘groove’ over time. This is essential in order to provide consistent straight edges on precision cutting tools such as wood chisels and plane irons
- The ABS plastic base has non-slip pads for use on most surfaces, and each stone can be removed to be used separately
- Can be used dry or with water as a lubricant, no oils are necessary

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2024Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseGood set of whetstones indeed. If you have a seriously blunt knife or want to maintain an already sharp knife and you know how to use these diamond sharpening stones you will finish up with an extremely sharp knife. They are well made and I am certain, given average use, they will last a very long time. The stones are easy to clean (soapy water) and they don't beak in half if you drop one. They come presented in a very substantial lidded case which will keep them clean in a dusty environment. Excellent value for money.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2024Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI use this kit for sharpening the blades in vintage wooden block planes and coffin planes. Sharpening is an art form. Watch some videos on YouTube to see how the experts do it. There is a knack to getting the bevels and tappers just right. If you are working with Sheffield or Ohio quality steel blades, then this sharpening kit will get them beyond razor sharpness. On cheap steel blades, you will struggle to get the same level of sharpness or an edge that lasts for more than a few strokes before its dull again.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2024Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseWorking area and overall size of this stone are two different numbers.The media could not be loaded.
Otherwise this is a really good diamond plate.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2024Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI have been using these for some months now, with a Veritas honing guide. They get chisels and plane blades sharp! 400 and 600 grits for reprofiling (takes time) and the 1000 for touch up honing. Have supplemented with 3000 grit (very cheap) diamond stone but it's not of the same quality (and a Beaver Craft leather strop). I also use erasers to clean up the metal swarf after. They work with lapping oil (more clean up required) or dry. For woodwork enthusiasts and hobbyists they are ideal and represent value for money.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2023Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI have a cheap set of six flat edge chisels that I use for general work like cutting out notches for door hinges and catches, removing bits of wood containing nails scraping off old paint, opening tins of paint because they're to hand at the time... I am not a master woodworker, just a self taught chisel wielding DIYer. So my chisels are regularly blunted, dented and get their corners knocked off. I have a whetstone, been using it for over 20 years, and I hate it. I hate the smell, I hate the noise, and most of all I hate the mess. I usually end up using the wrong size chisel because it's the only one that is still sharp.
Finding my whetstone had gone mouldy I wondered if there was an alternative and came across the Faithfull Diamond Whetstone Sharpening Kit on Amazon.
I placed the base on a large fluffy dust cloth just to stop it sliding on my table.
I used a chisel sharpening jig to ensure I got the angle correct.
I used no oil or other lubricants.
I applied only enough pressure to slide the blade evenly across the surface and I pushed the blade forwards and backwards slowly, roughly one forward and back movement per second.
I used the 400 grit to to deburr, get the corners back and correct the angle of the cutting edge . This work took the most time. I used the 600 grit to sharpen up, followed by the 1000 grit to hone the edge. Yes it did hone the edge well: I sliced my thumb open when I gently ran it along my sharpened 32mm chisel to test it. Far sharper than I ever managed with an oiled whetstone.
The fluffy duster meanwhile caught all the fine steel dust and I used it to dry wipe the 'stones' before putting them away.
Result? I actually enjoy sharpening my chisels, and they're now getting sharpened every time I've used them. I may even stop opening tins of paint with them...
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2022Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseIt was a very cheap way to try some diamond honing plates, but the plates are very thin, with plastic blocks that can flex a bit, and after honing a few chisels, and commissioning a couple of plane irons they’re worn out and don’t do much.
I replaced these with a branded metal slab, 2-sided (400 & 1000) diamond honing plate, that only cost 1.5x as much and it’s loads better. Munch better bite, and doesn’t flex. That might wear out as quickly though, hard to know.
I didn’t find I used the middle grit for sharpening woodworking tools, but it may be useful for other things.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2024Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseObviously time will tell but my initial impression is that it is good value for money. I hope this is still my opinion in a year or two.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2023Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseDid ok but I had a few chisels that were admitedly bad. I believe they worn the things out. If it is your case, you are like me and face a decision Buy this and another one once you got your sharpening in order to still have a good sharpening tool, or spend (much) more money. On the (massive upside), it is quite cheap- hence the 4 stars.

Tiago GomesReviewed in Spain on 16 September 20244.0 out of 5 stars The stones work, but will they last?
Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThe stones definitely allow you to sharpen knifes, chisels, etc. but with 10 or so usages the 1000 grit one is already showing some signs of dark coloured stains... diamond stones are supposed to last a long time, I'm not sure if this will be the case

Style Name: SingleVerified Purchasepour dégrossir le fis d'une lame abimé,prévoir des pierres plus fine pour la finition car la granulométrie est plutôt aléatoire même sur le 1000
point fort semble être de qualité au point de vue résistance à l'usure.
