Highly Abrasive Diamond Sharpener, For Aggressive Edge Re-Profiling, Use Minimum Pressure to Prolong Life of Diamond Surface
Mohs Scale of mineral hardness: This characterises the scratch resistance of various materials by comparing the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. For example, talc measures 1, pure gold measures 3, hardened steel measures 7 , diamond measures 10.
Spyderco diamond rods are made of hollow steel with a triangular cross section. The coating of industrial diamonds is applied to the steel with nickel-plating. The exposed tips of the diamonds forms a highly abrasive surface. It is more effective to use a gentle stroke as the cutting depth is limited by the size of the diamond tip. The diamond surface can be damaged if too much pressure is applied in the sharpening process. Therefore it is better to sharpen with several strokes at medium pressure and this also prolongs the life of the diamond rods.
