Shapton Glass Stone 6000 Grit 5mm

GlassStones from Shapton are different from other waterstones in the market. Instead of using aluminum oxide and silicon carbide, GlassStones are made with finely-graded ceramic cutting media that wears down much slower. This means that the same amount of material will last 4-5 times longer compared to traditional waterstones. The density of the GlassStone media also eliminates the need to soak the stones in water before use.

Shapton has engineered a binding matrix that allows for sharp new cutting media to be exposed efficiently for stock removal, while still retaining some worn media to provide a polishing effect simultaneously. This balance results in a superior edge with less effort required. The precision ground flat glass base of Shapton's GlassStones ensures that all of the ceramic cutting media can be utilized right down to the glass base, unlike other waterstones that crack and break as they wear down.

The GlassStone Series from Shapton is not only competitively priced, but also long-lasting, requiring less flattening and no soaking prior to use. With dimensions measuring 2-3/4 inches in width and 8-1/4 inches in length, these GlassStones cut quickly and efficiently, making them an excellent choice for anyone in need of high-quality sharpening tools.
