For some comments on the DMT sharpeners :

As for which grit to get, it depends on what kind of finish you want. The x-fine is like a piece of glass. It will produce a very polished edge which will push cut very well and slice very poorly.

Well, I use the regular/fine DMT hone, and have no problem push cutting or slicing with a very fine edge, on food, game (skinning, etc.) or carving wood. A coarser edge might work better on tough fibre like rope, however.

Does anybody have a web address for DMT or 3M(diamond sharpeners)so I can find out more about them?

Thanks.

I have the coarse/fine and I love it. I recommend to everyone I know.
