Default Diamond Sharpening Stone

There are plenty to choose from, wide range of prices, suppliers etc.
After personal recommendations for good quality products, any to
avoid.
Looking for medium and fine, wide enough for plane blades.
Cheers

The Aldi one that was offered a few weeks ago works fine, four grades of
diamond grit easily wide enough for a plane blade. Cost about £6. May be
a long wait until they do another.

This is, as far as I can tell, identical:

I.M.E. the cheap ones lose their diamond grit quickly.

the reviews say that they aren't flat and that they "can be easily bent"

Thin perforated sheets stuck onto a plastic backing. The real deal is
solid metal or ceramic with the grit well-bonded.

Costs about £40 + for 3 or £18 ea. last I remember. MachineMart used
to do them, but I managed to miss their sell-out.
