Description

Shapton glass stones are known for their exceptional quality, durability and ease of use. The abrasives are extremely uniform, meaning the abrasive encountered with the first pass of a blade will be the same as the 5000th pass.

Each stone is composed of a 5mm tempered glass backing plate fused to a 5mm thick stone. Shapton sharpening stones are made with finely graded ceramic cutting media that requires less flattening and lasts 4-5 times longer than most water stones.
