Atoma Japanese Diamond Sharpening Stone / Lapping Plate 140-1200 grit

Atoma diamond sharpening plates, made by Tsuboman of Japan, have earned a well deserved reputation for durability, the highest quality and excellent results among the straight razor and knife sharpening crowd. They are equally as adept at sharpening steel as they are at lapping and finishing natural and synthetic sharpening stones.
The 210mm x 75mm (8.25" x 3") diamond plates consist of diamond abrasive in a dot pattern bonded to a metal sheet which is then adhered to a milled flat aluminum base plate. The result is a remarkably even abrasive on a lightweight, easy to handle plate which has the added advantage of not suctioning to stones being lapped due to their spaced abrasive pattern.

While extremely durable, when eventually worn the abrasive diamond sheet can be removed and replaced. Replacement diamond grit sheets can be ordered here.
