It is an essential tool for maintaining and restoring the flatness of your whetstones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to traditional whetstones, the main advantage of using an Atoma plate is its ability to remain flat over time, providing consistent performance and longevity. The Atoma #140 is a staple grit for general whetstone flattening, covering a range from low to medium grits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use the plate, mount your whetstone in a stone holder and rub the Atoma plate on top of the whetstone in various directions until the stone is effectively lapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtoma Diamond Sharpening Plates are products of Tsuboman, a highly regarded Japanese manufacturer known for their refined diamond products. These plates are made of mono-crystalline diamonds with a cutting abrasive surface mounted on a 10mm thick stainless steel base. The base is machined to be extremely flat, ensuring the diamond plate remains flat throughout its use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality and durability of Atoma plates are among the highest available on the market. They feature precision-made surfaces with high uniformity, maintaining their flatness even after prolonged sharpening sessions. The diamond plate can be replaced after a few years without purchasing another baseplate, as they are adhered using strong double-sided tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtoma Diamond plates can be used dry or with water, depending on personal preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAdd-ons Options\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHapstone T2 Knife Sharpening Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.zanvak.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/2T2-1500x1500.jpg?v=1725359536\u0026amp;width=1500\" alt=\"Hapstone T2 Knife Sharpening Guide\" width=\"418\" height=\"418\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hapstone T2 represents the next generation of knife sharpening guides.
