Premium Sharpening Stone for Professionals

The Shapton Glass Ceramic Water Stones are undoubtedly the finest man-made ceramic water stones on the market. This claim is based primarily on two essential properties - the exceptional cutting speed of the Shapton stones and the superior edge they create.

Designed to be harder, faster cutting, and denser than any other ceramic water stone available, Shapton stones are engineered to remove material quickly, reducing the time required to hold a tool at the proper angle on the stone. This makes freehand sharpening a much easier and more efficient process.

Equally important to the cutting speed is the consistency of the finished edge. The sharpest cutting edge is achieved through the precise intersection of two highly polished, flat surfaces. The Shapton stone system, with its finishing grits of 16000 and 30000, leaves a polished surface free of scratches, resulting in a mirror-like, razor-sharp edge.

Each Shapton stone measures 2-3/4 inches wide by 8-1/4 inches long and is comprised of a 5mm thick glass backing plate fused to a 5mm thick stone. For optimal performance and protection, we highly recommend using the Shapton stone holder, which provides a secure platform and safeguards the stone during use.

The Shapton 120 Grit Extra Coarse stone is designed to last longer than other water stones, and there is no need to soak it before use. Complete instructions are included, ensuring a seamless and efficient sharpening experience.

In conclusion, the Shapton Glass Ceramic Water Stones offer unparalleled cutting speed, edge consistency, and longevity, making them the premier choice for discerning sharpening enthusiasts and professionals alike. With their exceptional performance and user-friendly design, these stones set a new standard in the world of water stone technology.
