Japanese whetstone Shapton Glass Stone 50201 120 grit

Shapton whetstones : true benchmarks in sharpening

Shapton Japanese stones are top-of-the-range sharpening stones renowned for their efficiency and durability. They are available in several ranges to suit your precise needs.

These are quality whetstones with low wear. They are particularly appreciated by food professionals for their performance. Note that these are hard stones, so they are recommended more for users who already know how to sharpen than for novices. However, their hardness is a real asset in terms of longevity: the harder the stone, the less wear it will have!

Japanese Glass Stone: 120 grit

The shapton glass stone range comprises several stones with different grits, which complement each other and enable you to give your blades a complete edge finish.

Very fine, this stone features an aluminum oxide abrasive section mounted on a tempered glass plate, which means it will not deform despite use, and remains perfectly flat.

Its 120 grit (122.5 micron) makes it particularly effective on very dull blades, whose cutting edge needs to be straightened. Highly abrasive, it sharpens quickly. Its hard grain also makes it suitable for hard steels (such as powdered steels).

It's called Splash & Go: this means it doesn't need to be pre-soaked like standard stones. Simply spray it on before use and you're ready to go. It saves you time.

The glass stone shapton guarantees even sharpening thanks to its uniform aluminum oxide particles. Abrasion is therefore even and it's easy to continue finishing with a higher-grit stone.

You can complement the use of the stone with the appropriate support to guarantee safe use.
