Diamond Resin Plates Nano Hone Mix

Nana hone diamond groomers, I have the 50, 25, 3 µm nano hones. They’re perfect for my maintenance of my EDC pocket knives. I can sharpen any steel to a superbly sharp edge with these three grit hones. I highly recommend nano products.

As a professional sharpener, I own several Nano Hone products, and the Nano Strop (10 Micron / 475 mm) is a fantastic tool. Efficiency and consistent results matter in my shop. As a finishing tool, this product does not disappoint.

The tactile feedback is clear - you can feel exactly when it touches the apex on the lightest trailing strokes. There is ample surface area on the 475 mm version to handle large scimitars and brisket slicers, while allowing me to index the edge bias (scratch pattern) for push cutting (forward bias), chopping (neutral bias), or slicing (aft bias).

The 10-micron grit is a sweet spot to quickly hone and restore a serviceable edge back to sticky sharp with minimal effort. Sharpening an edge is only half the job; completely removing the burr to form a lasting apex is what separates true quality from the rest. This is a great tool for any serious sharpener.

Perfect tool for maintaining a razor edge on long fillet knives. The longer model is excellent for 12" blades.

I have the 100, the50, the 25 the 10, the 3 and the one Micron 10 swips both sides of the blade and follow the Grit/ micron progression from big to small, these ideas where to stop with your blade a d it's particular steel, nice thing is if it is too polished you can reset the blade by going coarse.

Or define differently based on what your cutting short of reprofiling this is all you need.

Definitely start with this stone. But its not good as a standalone. Most of my knives stay sharp, so i started with the 25 micron to finish. Ended up wanting more grit and the 100 didnt remove enough material but theres a huge difference between this and the 100. The Nanohone base is impressive, and while none of their stones work well by themselves, having several of their stones makes it all worth it!

These are my favorite finishing stones, for all types of knives. They cut a bit slowly relative to their grit compared to a magnesia or vitrified AlOx stone, but I think that's actually advantageous when deburring. They work great for high MC-type carbide powdered steels since they're diamond, as well. They have a bit of a strange slippery feel when you sharpen, which is unusual but nothing bad. They have some of the best audible feedback for angle consistency I've ever experienced.

Just bought the 25 and and 100 micron. I use this to replace my ceramic rod. What a DIFFERENCE! Every time i use the knife, i just run 5/7 passes. It keeps the knife SHARP! I use the Nano pond and whetstones for serious work.

This is a MUST HAVE. I

I love them after a couple of uses. Great feedback and you can see the results. I haven’t had any issues with the stones loading up after a good thinning session. Another great product from the nanohone team.

Really like it. When the long versions are back in stock, I’ll surely get second.

Use them all the time for my woodworking tools and lapping carbide tools for metal working, cant beat the Nanohones...

Well made, solid, does exactly what it says.

I have tried leather strops with many compounds for years with limited hit and miss results. Then I bought the 3 micron 475mm Nano Strop. This strop is the answer. I will never go back to traditional leather and fight with compounds again.

These are the best strops on the market.

I use the 100 and 10 micron everyday. They are fantastic to maintain the edge butchering all day.

Well done Hap!

Picked up a 3 micron strip at Blade Show 2023. 3 micron provides what I need to touch up and maintain my EDC knives including Maxamet and CPM 15V! Touched up a new M390MK knive a picked up at the show and now I “Own the edge!” Outstanding design, materials, and execution. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I have the long, 1 micron strop and I have mixed feelings about it. I love the length. The stropping action is nice. It has decent feedback and it puts a nice finish on the edge. On the other hand, I find it awkward to use. I don't like using it at an angle, and the handle makes it awkward to use on a flat surface. What I end up doing is laying it on top of a leather strop with the handle pushing against the side of the table. It works, but the strop pokes into my stomach at the end of the stroke. It would be much better if the handle was removable, i.e., screwed in instead of glued in.

the diamond laps are very fast to produce a razor sharp edge. in the kitchen run them dry for no mess sharpening.

many thanks nanohone for a super product line

These stones are a game changer. I love the feel of them, they are almost spongy but not so much that you could easily cut into it. Finding a thinning stone that stays flat was difficult until I tried the 100 micron. The surface pattern doesn’t impact sharpening negatively. You barely need any water and it doesn’t get pushed off the stone. They stay flat until you feel the surface needs refreshed. Great customer service. Everything is high quality and I love it

Unbelievable grinding power of 1 micron. Perhaps it is thought that the content of diamond is high. This product seems to be more specialized in cutting performance than the mirror finish, and although several diamond products were used, it had the fastest grinding power. If your grinding skills are good, this product will reward you with knife performance.

I have two of these. I work with leather so I need very sharp, sustained edges. I get what I need with this product. Using the 10 micron first, then a 1 micron. For my kitchen knives the 10 micron works amazing!

Awesome product! Love it.

I find myself using this more than I ever anticipated.
It is an incredible touch up option. The length and width are perfect for both ease and effectiveness.

Summary: Stone leaves a nice crisp edge with "bite"... better than an equivalent strop. Just what I needed for higher end "super" steels. I recommend it!

I've had this stone for about a month now. Here's my opinion:

Best feature: The edge it leaves. Nice and crisp with bite. Better than a comparable strop for most tasks.
2nd best feature: Great for burr removal.
What I like least: Feedback takes getting used to. It sorta feels like your running the stone over a piece of roughened plastic. (But there's an upside, see "unexpected bonus", so not a bad thing).
Other: It will polish, but it's slow to polish if that's your desired result vs. a strop or comparable waterstone. (I prefer the edge type result over polish, so haven't spent much time on this).
Unexpected bonus: The surface texture is similar to a "Washboard Sharpener" although not as textured. But translated... it's a surface that is great for burr removal and the type of edge it leaves... plus the advantage of being diamond.
Unexpected surprise: The surface can be cut on edge leading strokes, so you need to be on your game! (It's doable for same angle strokes, but you can't do high angle edge leading passes).

Would I recommend: Absolutely! It's become my go-to finishing stone for most knives, especially higher end steels. Hoping to see it in other micron sizes!
