Product Description

Shapton Glass Ceramic Water Stones are the finest manmade ceramic water stones….period! This claim is based largely on two properties - the speed at which the Shapton stones cut and the edge they create. Shapton stones are designed to be harder, faster cutting, and denser than any other ceramic water stone on the market. Because they remove material quickly, the time required to hold a tool angle on the stone is reduced, making free hand sharpening much easier. Equally important to cutting speed is the consistency of the finished edge. The sharpest cutting edge is created by the finite intersection of two highly polished, flat surfaces. The finishing grits (16000 and 30000) of the Shapton stone system leave a polished surface free of the scratches creating a mirror finished, razor sharp edge. Each stone is comprised of a 5mm thick glass backing plate fused to a 5mm thick stone and measures 2-3/4 W x 8-1/4L. We recommend purchasing, and using, the Shapton stone holder. As it provides a secure platform and protects your stone when in use.

Great stone

Great stone
Stone works on everything I’ve thrown at it including super hard steels like Maxamet on my Para 2. The bar for me is Maxamet. If I can get a hair whittling sharp Maxamet blade off this stone (see photo) I know it’ll sharpen anything I need it to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, BAD packaging
Reviewed in Australia on December 17, 2023
This is a world class ceramic whetstone that I use for honing straight razors. I can't speak highly enough about this product and would recommend it 100%.
The problem was with the packaging, or lack of it. One thin plastic courier bag. The stone was chipped so I returned it. Received a credit then a few weeks later was contacted by a guy in the States saying he'd recieved it in the packaging I'd returned it in and included all my personal information, which is how he contacted me. Very bad Amazon!
You didn't even open the package knowing it contained a damaged item and just bounced it on, maybe hoping that customer wouldn't complain.
Will have to think about supporting Amazon in future. Oh, I tried to complain but my emails just bounced back. So.. Shapton 10/10, Amazon 1/10
The 1 is for processing my credit promptly
