Sharpening

KDTU SUPERMAX Hybrid Diamond Sharpening Stone , formally known as KDTU Hybrid Bond Diamond Sharpening Stone

The SUPERMAX Hybrids are built for those who demand precision, consistency, and long-term performance. Featuring true diamond abrasive set in an advanced hybrid bond, this stone delivers fast, controlled cutting with a refined scratch pattern across a wide range of steels. Finished with our signature NKC MINT backing, these stones feature a distinctive pop of color that reflects Neeve Knife Company's commitment to quality, precision, and performance.

The hybrid bond is a carefully engineered blend of resins and metallic components, designed to strike the perfect balance between cutting performance and durability. It behaves closer to a softer bond for improved polishing and feedback, while maintaining higher wear resistance than traditional resin-bond stones. The result is a stone that cuts efficiently, finishes clean, and holds up over time.

Diamond abrasives provide aggressive material removal and deep cutting ability, making this stone highly effective for everything from reprofiling to refining edges. Whether you're working on everyday users or high-HRC powder steels, this stone delivers consistent, reliable performance.

The larger 3" x 8" format offers increased surface area for improved stability, smoother stroke consistency, and greater efficiency, making it ideal for freehand sharpening and larger blades.

Each stone is mounted to a newly designed 3D-printed, high-strength plastic base. The updated base provides dependable support and rigidity while reducing the overall weight by approximately 50%, making the stone easier to handle, transport, and store without sacrificing stability during sharpening.

Whether you're working on everyday users or high-HRC powder steels, this stone delivers consistent, reliable performance.
