Sharpton Glass Stone 16000 Grit 5mm

Shapton Glass Ceramic Water Stones are the finest manmade ceramic water stones available, bar none! This assertion is primarily based on two key factors - the speed at which Shapton stones can cut and the quality of the edge they produce. Unlike other ceramic water stones on the market, Shapton stones are specifically engineered to be harder, faster cutting, and denser. This results in a quicker removal of material, reducing the amount of time needed to maintain the correct tool angle while sharpening, making the process much simpler and more efficient.

In addition to cutting speed, the consistency of the final edge produced is crucial. The sharpest cutting edge is achieved by the precise merging of two finely polished, flat surfaces. The finishing grits of 16000 and 30000 in the Shapton stone system ensure a flawlessly polished surface free of any scratches, creating a mirror-like finish and an exceptionally sharp edge. Each stone consists of a 5mm thick glass backing plate bonded to a 5mm thick ceramic stone, measuring 2-3/4 inches in width and 8-1/4 inches in length. For optimal performance and protection of your stone, we recommend using the Shapton stone holder, which provides a stable base during use.

These stones boast a very high particle density, ensuring exceptional sharpening performance. They are also characterized by a high degree of uniformity in the distribution of particles, resulting in a consistent sharpening experience. The combination of uniform particle size and dense particle distribution contribute to the outstanding sharpening capability of Shapton stones.
