Diamond Sharpening Plate #600 for Work Sharp Precision Ad, medium grit abrasive for knife sharpening

The Diamond Sharpening Plate #600 for Work Sharp Precision Ad provides a medium-grit diamond abrasive surface designed specifically for controlled edge work on knives and small tools. It fits the Work Sharp Precision Ad sharpening system and accessories, enabling users to remove small nicks, reprofiling bevels and preparing edges for subsequent finer grits. The plate is intended to deliver consistent material removal while maintaining flatness and predictable bevel geometry.

Advantages

This medium-grit diamond plate offers durable, fast-cutting abrasive performance with a consistent contact surface for repeatable results. The diamond surface resists glazing and wear compared with conventional stones, so it maintains cutting efficiency over extended use. Its compatibility with the Work Sharp Precision Ad system and guides ensures controlled angle sharpening and helps achieve uniform bevels across a variety of blade shapes and sizes.

Suitable for

• Removing small nicks and burrs from kitchen and outdoor knives
• Reprofiling bevels on pocket knives, hunting knives and utility blades
• Preparing an edge before finishing on finer abrasives or strops
• Light material removal on small woodworking tools and chisels

Key specifications

• Abrasive type: diamond abrasive, medium grit (~600 grit equivalence)
• Compatibility: designed for use with the Work Sharp Precision Ad sharpening system and its accessory guides
• Function: material removal and edge refining prior to finer grits
• Surface: flat, rigid plate for consistent bevel geometry
• Durability: wear-resistant diamond surface suitable for repeated use

How to use

Mount the diamond plate into the Work Sharp Precision Ad platform or attach using compatible accessories and guides. Set the desired sharpening angle with the system’s guide, then move the blade across the diamond surface with controlled, even strokes while maintaining consistent pressure and contact. Use alternating passes on each side of the edge to keep an even bevel and check progress frequently. After reprofiling or nick removal with the #600 plate, progress to finer abrasives for polishing and final edge refinement.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with light, controlled passes and avoid excessive pressure which can remove material unevenly. Clean the blade and plate periodically to remove metal particles and maintain cutting efficiency. Use progressively finer abrasives after the #600 plate to achieve a polished, durable edge suited to the knife’s intended use.
