Information from the Spyderco catalog

203DS Diamond Speed Sleeves

Speed sleeves - One pair of Diamond Coated Sleeves for Tri-Angle Sharpmaker.[1]

Designed exclusively for serious steel removal, the diamond-coated Speed Sleeves accommodate sharpening tasks that require an ultra-abrasive surface. The sleeves, which are ideal for restoring excessively worn edges and work only with the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker system, may be purchased either alone (203DS) or with the Sharpmaker (203DX). To use, simply slip the sleeves over the fine grit stones and add a few drops of water for optimal efficiency.[2]
