Where to buy a diamond file?

[Eben Stone]

I want to buy a diamond file, approx 1 inch wide, flat, 600/1000 grit, like the yellow and black handled one shown in photo 8 of this thread:

HEEL CORRECTION - REPROFILING

HEEL CORRECTION – REPROFILING Made easy. The issue of heel reprofiling has come up in various threads and I have described the process. Here is a photo tutorial showing how I reprofile a heel. As a razor is honed the blade width narrows and the heel corner, (where the straight edge curves...

I searched Amazon and Google for keywords such as:

"diamond file"
"diamond file 600"
"diamond file 600 grit"
"diamond hand file flat 600 1000 1k grit sharpening tool 1 inch wide"

The search results are useless. I went through about 800 results (the first 16 pages) on Amazon, and none of them were useful. I get nail files, files that are not diamond coated, tiny files that are 1/4 inch wide, the one diamond file I did find in all the results I looked at was 60 grit not 600.

I'm am not being lazy and expect someone else to do the searching work for me. I've already spent about 2.5 hours looking. At this point I've given up trying to find one. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. If you happen to already know of a good diamond file like I've described, and know where to get it, can you please share a link directly to the product?

Thanks.

You know what I found out also when using Diamond files on my knife sharpening system is just a simple pencil eraser will clean them like new again in no time.

I've always used a Diamond Plate for heal correction. The full-sized plate has many more uses than files. IMO. Good luck. I hope you find just what you need.

I’m with Jerry, use a regular diamond plate. Works fine.
