Resharpening and Exchange Service

Resharpening and Exchange Service

Resharpened Diatome knives undergo the same stringent optical checking and sectioning test as new knives.

Manufacturer

DiATOME

DiATOME have been developing and manufacturing diamond knives since 1970. The DiATOME knives are the only knives that can cut all types of materials from biological to materials (hard and soft alike).

During resharpening a knife may be reworked into another type (ultra to cryo, 45° to 35°, etc).

We let you choose: You may have your knife resharpened, or exchanged against a new one. In the exchange service a type change is possible (ultra to cryo, 45° to 35°, small knives to large ones, etc). This, of course includes changing the boat to your desired style.

When DiATOME resharpen their diamond knives, they restore it to its original condition

Your resharpened DiATOME knife will have the same length, the identical cutting edge and carry the same exact guarantee of quality as the day it first left the factory.

DiATOME are the only manufacturer that guarantees that after a resharpening, the knife will be the same flawless quality as the knife you originally purchased. Other manufacturers state that during their resharpening process the diamond may become smaller (up to 5% of its original length). With DiATOME's advanced techniques in resharpening you will never lose any diamond length.

Other companies "CAN NOT SUCCESSFULLY" resharpen a DiATOME Knife.

When other companies try to resharpen DiATOME knives, the original parameters of the knives are either altered significantly or totally lost; returning to you an inferior diamond knife. Many times the diamonds are damaged during their resharpening process and replaced with one of inferior quality.

Any DiATOME knife can be resharpened an "UNLIMITED" number of times due to the following reasons:

1) The cutting edge of the diamond knife is on the narrow side of the rectangular cut diamond, leaving the large part of the stone as a resharpening reserve.

2) Special attention is given to minimising the amount of grind off to the diamond during the resharpening process.
