Review on DMT AHF Diamond Machine Technology by Tim Burns

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not my favorite DMT sharpener

I've been using DMT sharpeners for years, they are great. This particular one is small, the holder helps, but I (an 8" hand) may need a larger holder. The complete kit (the other part is the guide that attaches to the blade shaft, I bought it elsewhere) will help you keep the blade at a constant angle while sharpening. He does his job well enough. Things it doesn't do include sharp corners, small blades, and it's not that good for large blades (9 inches and longer) - but you can always use sharpeners without a guide. Sharpeners of this size are also not available in black (xx-coarse) and orange (xx-fine). I can hold a corner without a kit so I ended up giving it to my parents and buying myself a DMT kit. Diafold sharpener instead.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
