Description

Shapton is a brand with a great reputation

The Japanese brand Shapton offers top-quality whetstones renowned for their performance and durability. Different ranges are available to meet your exact requirements, such as the Kuromaku range shown here, or the Glass Stone range.

These are excellent stones that wear very slowly, making them highly sought-after by restoration professionals.

Shapton Kuromaku 320 grit whetstone

The famous Kuromaku Shapton stones are available in a range of grits for complete blade sharpening. Whether you need a thick grit to straighten a chipped blade or a very fine grit to sharpen the edge, the Kuromaku range is complete.

Kuromaku is the thickest stone made by Shapton. It measures around 1.5cm thick and is made of ceramic. It contains abrasive particles that are evenly distributed across its surface. This ensures fast, clean sharpening of all your blades. What's more, ceramic is known to be a very hard material, ensuring slower wear despite repeated use.

It's a stone that catering professionals appreciate for its efficiency and durability. It is perfectly suited to intensive use.

It has a 320 grit: a thick grit that quickly removes a good deal of material from your blades. This grit is ideal for all chipped blades or those that no longer cut at all. This grit should be used in the first stage of sharpening, after which the fineness of the edge should be fine-tuned. You can also use this grit on hard steels with a high HRC.

Shapton Kuromaku stones are called Splash & Go stones. This means that you don't need to immerse them to prepare them, but simply moisten them before use.

This stone comes with a protective box, which is not only intended to protect the stone. The box can also be used as a base, thanks to its non-slip rubber feet. This keeps the stone stable during sharpening. With its grooved surface, the box allows good ventilation of the stone, even when you've put it away.

Note that it is important to let the stone dry in the open air, away from any source of heat. This could crack the stone.

Perfect for reshaping the cutting edge
language rating 10
I had been using Japanese water stones for several years to reshape the cutting edge of my knives. These stones are pleasant to use, effective but wear very quickly. This Shapton stone works just as well and has the big advantage of wearing much more slowly!

I am a beginner and I am very satisfied with this stone which I use in combination with the 1000 grit of the same brand.
She does the job
language rating 10
High-quality stone. Chosen for recovering damaged and/or tired blades. It does the job very well, and you could be happy with it if you don't have any particular requirements. Perhaps I should have chosen the 120-grit stone for a more radical job; some blades took me a little longer. I also chose it to last over time and not have to invest immediately in a levelling stone. Well... I'll have time to prepare my purchase! Very practical plastic case.

Great
I love
language rating 10
I had read and seen in videos some reservations about this stone, particularly with knives with HRCs below 59. The resulting edge would not be very sharp. Well, I haven't checked that at all. I've used it on 6 or 7 knives with the corresponding HRC, and I find that you quickly get a very even edge. Of course, the result is rough, but the knives cut really, really well. This makes the rest of the process much easier.
Very good stone

for a solid house you start by laying a good foundation....! in sharpening it's a bit the same, there's no point in increasing the grit if you don't have a good grind beforehand! my progression according to need: 120/320/600/1000 this stone is very hard, but with a good feeling; it drinks quite a lot of water, works quickly and removes material well...! after that it all depends on the pressure exerted on it....! for me a very good buy.
