DMT Deluxe Aligner Kit

Anybody use one? I only have experience with the diafold sharpener.

If you have diafolds get the clamp and magnetic guide rod.


Its a very effective system.

Got mine recently and its safe to say that is the best investment related to sharpening i have made. Works wonderfully, but you can still manage to screw up a bevel if you're aren't careful; it's easy to fix though. I recommend getting the Extra extra fine stone as well if you get it.

Extra coarse as well for reprofiling.

Perhaps the best value for dollar spent. With some additional stones you can get some damn fine edges easily. Not so great for larger blades, but perfect for anything under 6"-7" inches.

An excellent bit of gear, especially for smaller knives. It does have some limitations though with very small blades, the thickness of the clamp will prevent small edge angles. On the positive side you can use the clamp as a guide for freehanding on normal bench stones. I've got all of my folders shaving sharp with it. Quick and easy to use.

I integrated mine into a portable knife care kit.

I use it that way more than with its own stones. But I use sandpaper instead of stones when I travel. Much lighter and works just a well!

What does the magnetic guide do?
How does it work?

Thanks

The magnet is just a means by which the diamond hone (with steel substrate) is attached to the guide rod. Makes it very easy to use the diafold-type hones, instead of purchasing dedicated hones for the guide.
