I picked up some Atoma Diamond Plates in #140, #400, #600, and #1200 about a couple months ago and I finally got around to use them to sharpen a few kitchen knives for the house. I didn't use the #140 so I can't say how it performs. I started off with the #400, #600, #1200, and then stropped with 1 micron diamond spray from CKTG.
The edges weren't too bad and the #400 didn't take long to develop a burr. I didn't use water on the plates and just ran them dry. Next time, I'll try using some soapy water to see for myself if they make any difference. I actually enjoyed this sharpening session with the Atomas.
I started off full on reprofiling and sharpening with Shapton Glass Stones and I gotta say, I really like the Atomas. They're not messy running them dry compared to sharpening with a water, slurry system. I also like that the Atoma Plates fit the Shapton Stone Holder perfectly. It's a pretty solid system.
Sharpened a couple Tojiro DP knives and an unknown brand nakiri bought in Japan by my sister.
