Single Locking Lever A standout feature of the DMT Universal Sharpening Base is the locking lever. Adjustments to the base are quickly made with a single lever. Switching stones is fast and easy, there's no messing around with threaded rods. No matter how many different sizes of stones you have, you'll change between them quickly and easily.
