Both Chris Reeve and myself like the DMT products because they use very high quality monocrystalline diamond. Monocrystalline means single crystal. This does not fracture and break down as fast as the multi crystal structured polycrystalline diamond used by others. This means the diamond stone lasts longer. DMT makes a lot of different sharpening stones but my interest in them right now is specifically for what DMT makes we can use in the field for both military and sporting uses. One last point, the DMT sharpener doesn't care what steel we are sharpening, including CPM S-30V that my folder is made from. It all came up sharp with about the same amount of work.
