Nothing sharpens a knife like a diamond sharpener. But, diamond sharpeners have two drawbacks;

  • the core of most diamond shapeners are tool steel, and
  • diamonds are adhered to this substrate via electrolytic-nickel plating.

In other words, it is possible, and likely that when sharpening, some of this nickel substrate can be "smeared" onto the knife blade thereby magnetically contaminating the knife blade. In order to ensure that "lo-mu" knives stay "lo-mu" during periodic knife sharpening, non-magnetic diamond sharpener was created by Mission. This sharpener uses the best industrial diamonds, but plating is by a prorietary non-magnetic process. No matter how many times you sharpen any of Mission's titanium knives with the NMS, the titanium knives will never be magnetically contaminated via the sharpening process.

The Mission NMS diamond sharpener is designed to be stored in its own holder / grip. Mission Knives NMSWhen unscrewed from the grip, turned over and threaded back in with the tip out, the protective holder serves as the sharpeners grip. When sharpening is completed, the sharpening section is then reversed into the grip for protective storage.

Serrations can be difficult to sharpen without the right tool. The Mission NMS tapered design and diamond construction is used to easily sharpen both coase and fine serrations.
