I bought an DMT8EE online at Ebay "Buy Now". It is high today but there have been problems. This filled with areas where there is no diamond, feels perfectly with the finger holes "THERE ARE MANY." :cry:I have a photograph. I have spent my coticule above to see as scratches. BIG SCRATCHES. My norton 8k is smooth as glass, leaving a mirror shine. Is this DMT8EE in bad shape?

Couldn't you just hone on the other end?
What I thought and tested. Only an abrasive side. It coincides with letters legible. When legible letters, diamonds above. The letters are almost wiped despite being new "The shop I was sold as new," this seems to be hone scrap aspect. It has been sealed in a box of impeccable appearance.Quote:

I know these have to be broken in, so try honing an old knife or shovel, and maybe the big particles will disappear.
If that doesn't help, contact the seller and ask for a refund.
I tried a piece steel slightly.Quote:

I sent an e-mail the seller and another to DMT. I hope it can be solved. I do not know if the warranty DMT is international
Thanks Bruno

don't make the mistake I did of honing on the non-diamond side for a half hour wondering why there was no steel slur....lol.

After the finger was noticeable imperfections, I just send an email to the seller to see how we can resolve it. But I think that if you send another hone its is seconds will be the same.Quote:

I was asking the name of the seller on ebay that you bought your hone from.
About 2 mins after posting mine turned up. The surface kinda looks like its been stabbed at with a pointed object and even has a couple of lines that run across the block however running my finger nail and a pair of scissors over these areas doesn't reveal any hint of catching. I'll try to get a Hi-Res photo tonight.
So I'm happy.

That is exactly what happens. Roughening have disappeared and is now soft but there are those small holes of 1mm like its been stabbed at with a pointed object.

Expect DMT me answer the question in order not to impair erroneously seller but not answered. If you answered DMT, know please. There are more people in the forum who have bought and are in a similar situation. My English is bad enough and DMT possibly not understand my question.Quote:

Didn't you just ask the same question here also?

My DMT D8EE is from the same shop, no problem with that, as I stated, lap it just a tiny bit, or use it to lap another stone just a little, and everything will smooth out.
My hone snagged a little also, still it comes with an paper that says it is ready for use, but I guess that is for plane blades or something, not nothing as delicate as an razor.
But now it is baby smooth, and wowza.. it does indeed remove metal.. fast..
I put the same question in the two forums on the same date 03-21-2008. 25 days agoQuote:
