Description

Shapton sharpening stones are highly effective

Shapton designs high-quality Japanese stones that are renowned for their durability and effectiveness. The stones are available in several ranges to suit your specific needs.

They are known to wear very slowly. This is due to their high hardness, which is a real advantage in terms of longevity. Indeed, the harder a stone is, the slower it wears. Because of their hardness, these stones are better suited to expert sharpeners than to novices. Thanks to their performance, they are widely acclaimed by professionals in the catering trade.

Details of the 3 Glass Stone sharpening stones

Glass Stone is a Shapton range of stones with different grits. They complement each other to give your knives a perfect edge finish. All you need to do is adapt the grain to the condition of your blades!

This set contains 3 stones with different grits to give you great versatility. From thick grain to increasingly fine grain, the stones enable you to fully restore the sharpness of your blades! But you can also use them separately for regular edge maintenance.

The thick-grain 500 (29.4 micron) stone is highly effective for straightening the edge of very dull knife blades that no longer cut but are not chipped.

The medium-fine grit 2000 (7.35 micron) stone is ideal for continuing blade sharpening after using the #500 stone. On its own, it keeps blades fairly rigid.

Finally, the 8000 (1.84 micron) very fine-grain stone is perfect for final sharpening of blades with a minimum hardness of 60 HRC. It polishes the cutting edge and gives it a razor-sharp finish.

Note that all three stones are highly abrasive, ensuring rapid sharpening of your blades. They are also ideal for hard alloys, such as powdered steels.

Glass Stones are Splash & Go stones: this means they do not require a pre-soaking phase before use. Simply moisten them and they're ready! These are time-saving stones.

They are finer than standard whetstones. Their abrasive part is made of aluminum oxide and mounted on a tempered glass plate to prevent deformation over time. By remaining flat, the stones retain their initial shape while you sharpen.

They ensure even sharpening of your blades and clean work thanks to the homogeneous structure of the aluminum oxide particles. If your knife allows it, you can even sharpen it to a higher grit!

A practical whetstone holder

This Shapton 50300 holder is a real asset when using Glass Stone sharpening stones. As the stones are relatively thin, they can be raised to make them easier to use. This prevents your fingers from banging into your worktop while sharpening.

The stand is fitted with non-slip rubber feet for added stability. Practical when moving your knife back and forth on the stone.

When you've finished sharpening, the stand can be turned upside down to drain the used stone vertically. Finally, when all your stones are dry, the holder can be used to store all 3 stones in its horizontal position!

The perfect set, initially I wanted a 1000 stone as an intermediary, but the 2000 fits the bill perfectly, these glass stones are of incredible quality and efficiency. I bought them to replace my Shanzu 1000 / 6000, the difference is just amazing, go for it!
