This 3-piece Mini Diamond File Sharpening Set by tooltime is designed for users who need a quick, easy, and effortless way to sharpen a variety of knives and hand tools. Its primary benefit is the durable diamond surface that works quickly without needing oil. However, users should note that while versatile, these stones are small, making them best suited for smaller blades and tools rather than large or extensive sharpening tasks.

Yes, water is essential. It acts as a lubricant, preventing the tool from overheating and washing away metal particles, which keeps the diamond surface effective and prolongs its life.
No, these diamond stones are designed to work with water only. Using oil can clog the diamond surface and reduce its effectiveness.
Use the Coarse grit for repairing chips or quickly shaping a very dull edge. Use the Medium grit for general sharpening and refining the edge. Use the Fine grit for polishing the edge to a razor-sharp finish.
While they can be used, their small, flat surface area makes them less ideal for the uneven surfaces of serrated knives compared to specialized sharpening tools. You might achieve some result on the flat portions of the serrations.
Diamond is a very hard material, and these stones are extremely durable. With proper care and use (using water lubrication and cleaning after each use), the diamond surface should provide effective sharpening for a considerable amount of time.
The overall stone dimensions are approximately 75mm x 25mm (approx. 1" x 3"). The sharpening surface area is the entire coated face of these dimensions.
Ensure you are using adequate water lubrication. Clean the stone surface with a brush to remove embedded metal filings. Check if you are using the appropriate grit for the task; a duller tool may require the coarse grit initially.
Rinse the stone thoroughly under running water. Use a soft nylon brush to gently scrub the surface and dislodge any metal particles or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the diamond coating.
This is likely due to improper drying and storage. Ensure the stones are completely dry before storing. You can try gently scrubbing the rust spots with a damp cloth and then drying thoroughly. If rust is significant, the performance may be affected.
Setup: No setup is required. The stones are ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide array of metal tools including knives, chisels, plane irons, blades, router cutters, scissors, and garden tools.
