DC3, DC4, DC521 are a combination diamond / ceramic whetstone consisting of a fine diamond stone (25 micron) and a very special ceramic stone, made of synthetic sapphires. The advantage of these materials, although they get worn, will still keep their flat shape this is important when you sharpen your knife. And, since these materials are the hardest we know of, they will sharpen any steel, even these extremely hard powder steels. You don't need any lubrication for these stone but now and then you should consider cleaning them with warm water and liquid soap. The stones might feel coarse from the start but will become smoother/better after some use. A leather pouch is included How to use your DC whetstone:
If your knife is dull, we advise you to start with the diamond stone. After restoring the edge to original shape, de-burr the edge lightly with the ceramic stone in order to get a razor-sharp edge.
Use no oil or water.
Start by laying the blade flat on the stone, raise the blade spine approx. the thickness of the blade, and start moving the knife in circular motions.
The ink trick:
Colour the edge with a felt-tip pen. You can check your progress in sharpening the knife by observing where the colour is removed.
How to check the sharpness:
To check the sharpness of your knife, pull the
edge very lighly on your finger nail. If it cuts, the knife is certainly sharp enough for most
tasks.
Break-in-period:
Upon delivery, your new DC whetstone will appear very coarse. This coarseness will disappear when the tool is put to use.
C12 Ceramic Steel
In most cases, the ceramic steel is enough to re-establish the sharpness of your kitchen knife. This brand-new ceramic steel is made of real ceramic and has got micro-grooves all along the entire steel. These grooves will polish the edge to razor sharpness and clean it from the unstable raw edge, making the edge last longer. The combination of a diamond and a ceramic steel is certainly the best of all sharpening solutions if you wish to work with really sharp knives, no matter if you're a professional chef or a happy amateur. A ceramic steel will work as long as you live but is extremely brittle and will break into pieces if dropped to the floor.

D12 Diamond Steel
Kitchen knives, which need to be quickly sharpened, are preferably honed by our diamond steel D12. This oval steel is covered with fine diamonds and you will find that the result comes fast even if the knife is made of a hard, stainless steel. To insure a long life of the steel, we have covered the surface with titaniumaluminanitrid, an extremely hard and sophisticated material, only is found on exclusive products. The diamond steel is used for establishing the wedge-shape of the edge and in certain cases, the micro-teeth made by the diamond steel might deliver a very good cutting performance, e g for fresh bread.
