Features of the Rock Star 16000 grit stone

The Shapton Rock Star stone is the result of the brand's latest innovation. Its wild look gives it a unique aesthetic, and it's available in a wide variety of grits to suit all your needs, whatever the condition of your blades. Although it is thicker than Glass Stone, it offers equivalent quality. It's a sturdy, high-quality stone that will care for your knives and accompany you over the long term.

The stone's ceramic surface contains a high proportion of white alumina, giving it a high abrasive capacity. What's more, this material wears slowly, so you can benefit from its long-lasting effectiveness.

This stone has a 16000 grit, which should be used when sharpening very high HRC blades (over 63). As white alumina is highly abrasive, you'll achieve excellent results in no time. This extremely fine grain enables you to achieve a very thorough mirror and razor polish on the hardest steels. Sharpening is precise and uniform, making it suitable for all users.

The stone must be soaked in water for a few minutes before use. Allow around ten minutes for this operation.

After sharpening, it is important to let the stone dry completely before storing it. Be sure to keep it away from sources of heat and leave it in the open air. Excessive exposure to heat may cause cracks in the stone, as it dries too quickly.
