Overpriced but if you want to use the DuoSharp bench stones without having a fabricate a holder, then this is the only solution unless you want your stone to slide around whilst you're sharpening your blades.

Works great with my DMT 6" dia-sharp double sided stones (course/extra course, and fine/extra fine). Can work with any 6" bench stone. How it works is the bench stone fits in a 6" long depression on the base.

This is an awesome sharpening stone base / holder.Works perfectly with all my DMT DuoSharp stone and even holds my other non DMT stones in place. Doesn't pin them down but can place the DMT stone holders in the proper area and with the no slip base of this holder... it does a fantastic job.Absolutely love the hand grip on the bottom. Made sharpening my axe a breeze!Have been using this product for almost two years now and it still works / looks like new. At this price point... it cannot be beat.

Will not work with "Dia" Sharp stones. You will need the Magnabase adapter for it to fit. The DMT company has great service

Extra base for DMT stones. Great product that is very intuitive to use. Probably will be my go-to diamond sharpening field stone. Base makes it so easy to use with the Global knives and various assorted chisels and plane blades that are constantly being sharpened. As before to any woodworker I would recommend that a series of 11 - 15 - 20 - 25 - and 30 degree blocks be handy/fabricated on the mitre saw and always handy to register the angles of sharpening on the bench stone/base. Results are faster and picking the optimum angle for your work on wood/food greatly enhances the experience of using sharp tool for the job.

This is just about the perfect height for sharpening all kinds of stuff. So far I've sharpened kitchen knives, pocket knives and straight razors with this. It enables one to get an excellent bevel on a straight and to carefully control the bevel on kitchen knives and the like. I've not used any kind of jig, it's all by hand. The rubber feet on the bottom hold the stand steady and the rubber feet under the stone anchor the stone in place. Finally, there is a handle on the bottom of the stand that allows one to hold the base with whichever stone you might require and move the surface over a stationary item. I've done this with waterstones in order to get a flat surface. Works great, I'm very pleased.
