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 an outstanding value.
The 120-grit plate is the most aggressive option in the CKTG Edge Pro range - sized for the Edge Pro system but useful for any situation where fast, coarse stock removal is needed. On the Edge Pro, it handles significant chip repair, full bevel resets, and bringing badly damaged edges back to a workable state before progressing to finer stones. As a standalone plate, it removes material faster than any water stone in the lineup, which makes it useful for thinning work and tasks where a water stone would take too many strokes. At this grit, the scratch pattern is coarse and will need several intermediate steps before reaching a refined edge, but for the heavy removal work it is built for, it performs efficiently.
What Customers Are Saying: The one reviewer confirms it cuts aggressively and performs as a capable coarse plate for Edge Pro use.
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.Brand: CKTG
