Shapton GlassStone 30000 Grit Ceramic Water Stone

The SHAPTON GLASSSTONE CERAMIC WATER STONE 30000 GRIT 5MM is part of the revolutionary GlassStone series of sharpening stones that offer excellent usability in a slim package made of layers of glass. With a wide range of stones available, users can enjoy the sharpening process and achieve the perfect finish for any blade. Made with finely graded ceramic cutting media, Shapton sharpening stones require minimal flattening and have a lifespan 4-5 times longer than most water stones.

The abrasives in Shapton Glass Stones are incredibly uniform, ensuring consistency throughout multiple sharpening sessions. Each stone consists of a 5mm tempered glass backing plate fused to a 5mm thick stone, providing durability and stability. The 30000 grit stone has a particle size of 0.49 microns, making it perfect for achieving an ultra-sharp edge on straight razors.

Shapton GlassStones are known for their fast cutting abilities, which speed up the sharpening process. Despite their quick cutting speed, these stones wear down much slower than traditional waterstones, reducing the need for frequent flattening and preserving abrasive material during maintenance. The HR Series of GlassStones is versatile and suitable for most sharpening tasks, with the HC series recommended for straight razors and high carbon steel.

One of the standout features of Shapton stones is their high abrasive content, allowing users to form a sharp edge quickly. These stones do not require soaking before use – simply add water and start sharpening within seconds. The unique bonding technology used by Shapton ensures optimal performance of the abrasives, resulting in long-lasting sharpening stones.

The HR SERIES OF CERAMIC WATERSTONES is designed for sharpening hard steels and modern steel alloys, offering the most advanced sharpening solution for these materials. The stone dimensions are 8 1/4" long, 2 3/4" wide, and 3/8" thick, providing ample surface area for efficient sharpening.
