Thread: DMT (again) Wear

Run your fingernail over the shiny nickel; if it catches, it's still cutting. They wear smoother after a little use. Gives you a finer finish.

The DMT in my avatar has seen heavy use for over 20 years (on knives and hardened tool steels, including light use on carbides). It has discolored areas and on one end it shows a small patch of nickel, but the patch still cuts.

I think all my DMT's are just wearing "in" instead of "out". Maybe the avatar DMT has lasted so long because I use very little pressure on it. It actually seems to cut better with light pressure (IMO).

I'm a big DMT fan...
