dmt vs eze lap

[80sskater]

Much to my surprise eze lap is located where I live the factory anyway just curious what's the general consensus on who makes better products since they make similar diamond stuff

Below is what I posted in response to a similar question in another thread recently. It sums up my view of the comparison between the two brands, and probably fits your question as well. So, instead of typing it all over again, I'll just quote the following:

(quoted from thread: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/new-guy-question.1588404/ ):

Eze-Lap's diamond hones seem to run pretty coarse for their rated grit. I have a Dia-Fold-style hone of theirs in that 400/1200 combination (they call it 'Medium' and 'Super Fine', IIRC), and the '1200' side leaves a finish essentially similar to DMT's 600 (Fine); the '400' is likely similar to DMT's 325 (Coarse). So, between the two you list, I'd say 'either one should do OK' for you.

Having said that, I still prefer the finish of DMT's hones in general, which seem to leave the edge cleaner and less in need of de-burring. That seems to speak for the cutting quality & uniformity of their diamond grit specifically, irrespective of it's rated size. For quick grinding & rebevelling tasks, they're both good. But, I often follow up the EZE-Lap hone with finishing touches on the DMT, for the reason mentioned.

The EZE-Laps are less expensive and a very good deal for the price. I can't knock them at all. But it's hard to beat DMT's consistency in finishing; I've gotten spoiled on them.
