Shapton medium grit abrasive powder for straightening whetstones

Shapton medium-grain straightening powder is indispensable for levelling the surface of your whetstones.

Over time, stones have a natural tendency to become uneven. This is due to the many to-and-fro movements performed on their surface. When a stone is not flat, it won't allow you to sharpen your knives properly.

Straightening powder is the solution!

How to use Shapton 0503?

The powder is made up of silicon and carbon granules which serve to increase its abrasive force. Suitable for sharpening stones with grit sizes ranging from 1000 to 5000, the powder is used with a straightening stone.

To use, simply pour the powder onto the surface of the stone and rub with the dressing stone. As the powder is abrasive, it enhances the quality of the result.

When the whetstone is flat and looks as good as new, straightening is complete. All that remains is to clean the whetstone and straightening stone thoroughly to remove any traces of residue.

This Shapton powder is a highly effective accessory for maintaining your sharpening kit - you won't be able to do without it!
