CKTG 400 Grit Diamond Plate for the Edge Pro

Diamond plates cut faster than water stones and never need flattening - they stay flat because they are flat, bonded to a rigid base rather than abraded into shape over time. The CKTG diamond plates use nickel-bonded diamond abrasive on a steel plate, sized for both direct knife sharpening and stone flattening. They are a significant step up in cutting speed from silicon carbide flattening stones and cost a fraction of the Atoma. The honest tradeoff: slightly more stiction on stones than the Atoma dot-matrix design, and a less even scratch pattern on knife edges - but for general flattening and repair work at this price, they are outstanding value.

This 400-grit plate is sized for the Edge Pro sharpening system but works equally well as a general flattening plate. On the Edge Pro it provides an aggressive cutting option for bevel setting, chip repair, and resetting heavily worn edges before transitioning to the finer stones in the progression. As a flattening plate it handles regular maintenance on stones up through 2K-3K, restoring a flat surface quickly. The Edge Pro sizing also makes it convenient for lapping Edge Pro stones themselves when they develop a dish from sustained use. The plate uses nickel-bonded diamond abrasive on a steel backing.

What Customers Are Saying: Nine reviewers confirm good performance for Edge Pro use and general flattening. Described as a reliable plate that does the job at a practical price point.

Care Instructions: Rinse under water after use to clear swarf. Store dry. The diamond surface will wear over time with heavy use - this is normal.
