Diamond Files For 10-8 Sights- Reccomends?

Looking to get some sights from 10-8 for a handgun.
They say you need a diamond file to get through their uber-tough coating.
All the diamond files I see on Amazon have shit reviews. Local Lowes doesn't even have any. Starting to feel like this is some sort of rare and specialized equipment... :rolleyes:

For you fellas that have installed 10-8 sights- what diamond files did you use, and where did you purchase them?

Apparently you can also use a diamond hone, so I'm also toying with the idea of that as well.

Both sets of 10-8's I have installed on Glocks have slid right in. No need to fit.

I've used a cheap diamond knife sharpener for the last few years with great success. Load it up with oil and it takes material off quickly. Pretty sure it was less than $30 on Amazon (and works great for a quick edge on my knives!).

Go $32 more and get the Lansky diamond knife sharpener. Then you have various grits to choose from and a useful sharpening kit for edged tools.

I'll have to check that out.
I was actually considering a DMT diamond stone, since research says a forum member here used one in the past to install these same sights, and I really have put off knife sharpening equipment for far to long.
