1x6 Diamond Plates & Films

What are 1×6 Jende Diamond Sharpening Plates used for, and why choose this size?
The 1×6 Jende Diamond Sharpening Plates are precision-engineered for sharpening a wide range of tools, including knives, chisels, and straight razors. The 1×6 inch size makes them compact and ideal for use with guided sharpening systems like the Jende JIGS or Edge Pro-style rigs. They offer a great balance between surface area and control, especially for users who need portable, consistent sharpening with minimal maintenance. The diamond abrasive cuts quickly and stays flat, unlike traditional Waterstones.

How long do Jende Diamond Plates last, and do they require any maintenance?
Jende Diamond Plates are designed for long-term use thanks to their durable electroplated diamond surface. With normal use, they can last for years without significant wear. Unlike waterstones, they don’t need soaking or flattening. Just rinse with water after use and gently wipe them dry. For heavy build-up, a soft brush and mild detergent will help keep them clean. Avoid using excessive pressure—let the diamonds do the work, and you'll get consistent, long-lasting performance.

What makes the 1×6 Atoma Diamond Plates different from other diamond plates?

The 1×6 size is especially popular for use in guided sharpening systems, like Edge Pro or Jende JIGS, offering excellent control in a compact form. Unlike many diamond plates, Atoma uses a replaceable adhesive-backed diamond sheet on a solid base, so you can swap out worn surfaces without replacing the entire plate—a cost-effective advantage over time.
