The diamond grinding wheel lasts for thousands of grindings.
It is difficult to make an exact estimate, as the lifetime depends largely on the type and frequency of use.
However, in the vast majority of households, the diamond grinding wheel will last for a lifetime.
Over time, the diamond grinding wheel will become finer and finer, so you may one day want to replace it with a new one.
We recommend that you keep the first grinding wheel if you want to achieve a really nice finish on your knives.
Stay sharp
