Shapton Glass Stone Seven - .85 Micron

The Shapton Glass Stone Seven stones are of the same quality as the larger size Shapton Glass Stones, with the only difference being the size. The Glass Seven Stones measure 6.3" x 1.45", which is a bit smaller than the larger 8.25" x 2.75" size of the standard Shapton Glass Stones. However, the abrasive on the Shapton Seven stones is 1.4 times thicker than the standard Shapton Glass Stones, with a 7mm thick layer of abrasive compared to the 5mm thickness on the standard Glass Stones.

The Shapton Seven .85 micron stone is comparable to a 16,000 grit Japanese water stone, making it an extra-fine stone that can put a mirror polish on knives, tools, and razors. The Shapton Glass Stone is unequaled by other water stones, with its high concentration of ceramic particles resulting in fast honing that is unmatched by competitors.

Shapton Glass Stones feature the highest quality ceramic abrasives on the market and are designed for fast honing and low maintenance. There is no need to soak the Glass Stone Seven stone in water, as you can simply splash on a little water and start sharpening immediately.

The Shapton Glass Stone Seven Series is made with the high quality materials and workmanship that you expect from Shapton, and you will not be disappointed with the results. The size of the Shapton Glass Stone Seven is 6.3" x 1.45" x .47", and the grit is .85 micron (approximately 16000 grit), leaving a mirror polish that is popular with straight razor users.

In summary, the Shapton Glass Stone Seven stones offer the same exceptional quality as the larger Shapton Glass Stones, but in a slightly smaller size. The thicker abrasive layer and extra-fine grit make these stones a great choice for achieving a mirror polish on a variety of cutting tools and implements. The convenience of not needing to soak the stones in water, and the high-quality materials used in their construction, make the Shapton Glass Stone Seven Series a standout choice for sharpening enthusiasts.
