Diamond plates cut faster and stay flatter than conventional water stones, and this three-piece set from CKTG puts the three most useful grits together in a single purchase. Each plate measures 150mm x 20.5mm of usable diamond surface, mounts to a black plastic base, and fits the Edge Pro sharpening system right out of the box. The progression covers coarse stock removal at 120 grit, mid-range sharpening and edge setting at 400 grit, and refined finishing at 1,000 grit - a complete foundation for nearly any sharpening task on the Edge Pro.
The practical advantage of diamond over stone is most apparent on hard or difficult steels. These plates bite into high-hardness alloys that slow down conventional abrasives, and because the diamond surface does not dish, angle consistency stays reliable across the full life of the plate. Whether the job is repairing a chipped edge, resetting a bevel, or cycling through a batch of knives before finishing on a strop, this set handles the heavy lifting efficiently.
What Customers Are Saying: Customers who use these plates in active sharpening routines report that they dramatically reduce the total time spent per knife by quickly establishing a consistent starting point before moving to finishing stones. Users working on extremely hard steels - including some of the most difficult alloys available - note that the diamond plates resolved chipping and edge damage in minutes where standard stones had made little progress. Several reviewers use these plates professionally and consider them a permanent replacement for the stock Edge Pro water stones that came with their machines.
Care Instructions: Rinse the plates with water before and after each use to flush metal swarf from the diamond surface. Avoid letting filings dry and accumulate. Store the plates flat to protect the diamond surface between sessions.

These plates have helped my sharping regiment by leaps and bounds! I have a full set of standard stones but what these do is cut the total honing time to almost half. By selectively choosing a diamond plate you can get all the knives you are honing to one "starting" place very rapidly. Picking up that necessary wire edge is soooo easy! Great product!

Just ran a Maxamet blade with micro-chipping through these three plates and I'm seriously impressed. Maxamet is notoriously difficult to sharpen because of its super high hardness.
Shapton Glass stones are my usual medium and I have an Atoma diamond in 140gr. The Shaptons put a nice polish on the Maxamet but couldn't fix the chipping.
10 minutes and these diamond plates made it like new. I'm going to order a second set because (at this price)..why not?!

How do I like these diamond plates? If I was Edge Pro I'd make these the stock plates that come with both Edge Pro models. I have an Edge Pro Apex that is mounted to a plywood base that I I use regularly as part of my sharpening service. These diamond plates have made me forget where I put my stock Edge Pro water stones. They do everything that a stone can do better.
