Hand Tools: DMT Upgrades Diafold Sharpeners
The best-selling product line of the world’s finest diamond sharpeners is getting a makeover. DMT's Diafold’s new eco-friendly packaging and redesigned handles improve both sustainability and convenience without sacrificing performance or price.
The new Diafold packaging is smaller, lighter and uses 93 percent less plastic. Of additional benefit to distributors and retailers, the packaging is more tamper-resistant and does not change product UPC or Bar Codes. For consumers, it is easier to open after purchase and clearly defines DMT’s color-coded grit classification.
Each model in the Diafold line features new see-through handles manufactured from tough engineered resin. These handles maintain the compact folding stow-and-go design that protects the Diafold when not in use, but now they allow users to immediately identify the tool type, making it easier to select the right tool for the task at hand. In fact, it’s the ability to display the Diafold in its folded position that allowed for the development of the new and improved packaging.
Today’s Diafold line includes six tool types:
- Single sided
- Single sided with fishhook groove
- Double sided
- Flat file
- Serrated
- Chain saw
Like all DMT products, the Diafold sharpeners are proudly Made in the USA and feature the DMT Difference: superior diamond coverage and uniformity combined with unrivaled flatness. DMT sharpeners feature the most diamond per square inch in the industry and a proprietary process that ensures near-perfect consistency in grit size, and they are engineered to be the flattest sharpeners on the market. The iconic polka-dot surface pattern self-cleans while sharpening to ensure continuous edge contact. This surface, innovated by DMT, is often imitated in appearance, but never equaled in quality or function.
