DMT W6EP comes in a plastic case. This is the exact same whetstone as the DMT W6EP which sells for $17.00 LESS. EXCELLENT PRODUCT. The choice and the $17.00 is yours. he difference is the case. Thi one comes in a wooden box (which warped when I got it wet). EXCELLENT PRODUCT. DMT W6E 6" Diamond Whetstone Sharpener,Extra Fine with Hardwood Box
This DMT whetstone puts this chore in a new dimension. I've always kept the household knives pretty sharp, and it's always been a chore accomplishing that. Two or three times a year I'd drag out the old Carbarundum stone that's been in the family for decades and spend hours sharpening knives. Now each knife takes about three minutes and they all go back in the drawer with edges Jeffrey Dahmer would have envied. These things do not come cheap, but if you place much of a premium on your time and you want sharp cutlery, your money will be well spent.
Now, all my knives, from personal carry to kitchen, have a surgical edge. I've long been a believer in a sharp knife edge. The edge is obtained quickly simply by following the included directions. All a dull edge does is frustrate you. I purchased the DMT 6" Extra fine whetstone sharpener with the hardwood box. This stone should last a LONG time and I am happy I invested in it. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about obtaining the best edge on their blade they can.
Then I got teh diamond whetstones. I have always carried a knife in my pocket, and after losing 3 to TSA jerks, I almost got out of the habit. Wow. I dug up an old swiss amry knife, and began to work the dull blade. Using various sharpeners, I ended up with a decent blade. Like magic. Truly a great way to get an edge on your stuff.
I bought the fine grit, but will likely buy the medium and coarse some day. I've used these stones before, and they work so well I finally decided to buy one. Like most stones they are a bit expensive, but there isn't anything that will substitute. Just not today. One at a time makes the "bite" not as hard on the pocket book as buying all three at one time.
