DMTADELUXE Deluxe Aligner Kit, 3 Diamond Whetstone/1 Serrated Sharpener

I purchased the aligner to use whilst in Zambia - normally uses a Lansky. I used it to sharpen my knife with a CPM S30V blade. Struggled a bit to get the correct angle and stroke but in the end I got the knife much sharper than with the Lansky and in about half the time. The knife still had an edge so I only used the fine stone. The DMT stones seems to be more aggressive and with the fine stone achieved a smooth edge. I saw some reviews people were saying the knife looses the edge quicker I could not verify that, as a matter of fact in my case the edge retention was similar or maybe even better than the with the Lansky but the knife was definitely sharper. Would however preferred the blade holder and to be made out of a more robust material. The angle adjusters have more control on the blade angles although the adjusters appear to be flimsy.Overall I am very satisfied with the product and it works well.

I bought this for sharpening pocket knives. I wanted to get a 15 degree bevel, but with the smaller blades it won’t go below 18 degrees or you’ll be grinding the bottom of the aligner itself.

Very good

I have the Aligner Deluxe Kit for about 2 weeks now.I have used it for several knives with different hardness (the hardest is S30v steel)and it makes the all razor sharp!!The only slight drawback it has is that the angel is not quite the same on both sides.This is by far the best sharpener I have ever owned and is very price-worthy!

I don't know how you use this gadget as there are no instructions with it. Maybe this could be a packing oversite but without them it's guesswork.

Works well and sharpens knives.I've used it to restore the edge on a couple of damaged blades.Slightly different angles if used dual sided.

Very cheap quality, The fixation plastic points broke on mine early.At the price they sell it, this is tragic. I managed to epoxy some stuff back together, but I really wouldn't advise this

Esta guia da DMT é de boa qualidade, mas tem ao menos dois problemas:1- Os pinos que regulam o ângulo de afiação não ficam bem presos, e durante a afiação eles soltam fazendo com que a faca fique com um ângulo menor em relação a pedra. Poderia ter um parafuso para travar ele na regulagem desejada e evitar isso. O que eu fiz foi colocar uma fita isolante prendendo os pinos, resolveu.2- Se usar pedras de espessuras diferentes (por exempo uma pedra grossa mais espessa, uma média diamantada da DMT que tem pouca espessura e uma fina de espessura média), dificilmente vai ser possível ajustar a guia para ter o mesmo ângulo de afiação em todas elas. As regulagens da guia ocorrem em saltos relativamente grandes, e a regulagem ideal para outra pedra pode estar entre duas regulagens possíveis. Então o ângulo vai ser diferente. Seria melhor se a regulagem pudesse ser feita de forma contínua, para chegar no ângulo exato. Uma forma de contornar este problema é colocar um pedaço de madeira ou outro suporte qualquer debaixo das pedras menos espessas para que fiquem na mesma altura da pedra mais espessa.Mas no geral, é uma boa guia de ângulo de afiação. Com algumas melhorias ficaria excelente.

Fácil de usar, afiando uma faca já se sabe como tudo funciona. Minha faca está cortando muito. E é uma BK2 que tem a espessura de 6.4mm. Gostei!

Pas très précis quant à l’aiguisage, toutefois les pierres à diamant sont de très bonne qualité d’où l’attribution de 3 étoiles autrement l’évaluation aurait été plus basse

I was a bit skeptical about this type of sharpener because I have always sharpened my pocket knives on a whetstone. Am I glad I decided to buy the DMT Aligner Prokit. It sharpens so much quicker than my whetstone kit. I had some old Kitchen knives that were very dull but this sharpener brought them back to sharper than new. My newer set of Kitchen knives were also sharper than new. Especially after using my Beavercraft strop which is also a great product. Once you figure out the best position or on longer knives positions and find the proper angle it is very easy to get a...Not going to use the old cliche "Sharp as a razor"...but as sharp as a kitchen knife should be to hold an edge. It also makes it easy to re-profile a knife. I put a sharper angle on an old meat cleaver and now use it to dice vegetables so i can scoop them off the cutting board to put in pan/bowl. Highly recommended for people that haven't sharpened knives before.

Ich habe diverse andere Abzieher, Schleifsteine, etc. und war auf der Suche nach etwas mit dem man Messer wirklich scharf bekommt.Ich habe einige Zeit überlegt ob der Preis für dieses Tool mit vielen Kunststoff Teilen gerechtfertigt ist.Die Antwort: Ja!Ein bisschen wackelig ist die Konstruktion vielleicht schon aber das Entscheidende ist, man kann den Schleifwinkel konstant halten, was bei Freihand Schärfen mit einem Stein nur selten so exakt gelingt. Die Diamantplatten sorgen für einen raschen Materialabtrag und man kommt in schneller Zeit zu einem guten Ergebnis.Am Ende noch über den Streichriemen und man erhält Rasiermesserschärfe.Das einzige kleine Manko ist, dass bei Messern mit niedrigem Rücken kleine Schleifwinkel nicht realisiert werden können. Man streift sonst über den Halter und erreicht nicht die Klinge.Alles in allem ein super Teil!
