How was the DMT® sharpener invented? Originally a manufacturer of grinding wheels the company repurposed a center punch-out of a diamond grinding wheel and developed an entire new way of manual sharpening. After testing a sample of a center punch out sent to them, a purchasing agent for L.L. Bean extolled the product’s sharpening performance and worked with the engineers at DMT® to refine the resulting product..The result of that cooperation launched DMT® on its way to becoming the recognized leader and the industry standard in diamond honing hand tools. L.L. Bean remains a DMT® customer to this day.

It was an unbreakable, clean-cutting, and super-fast sharpener, It was a tool that could sharpen any material, including the toughest composites, ceramics and any metal, including tungsten carbide and even polycrystalline diamond (PCD) inserts.
