SHAPTON 50102 water stone for sharpening 500 grit

SHAPTON 50102 water sharpening stone 500 grit

A fantastic series of SHAPTON brand sharpening stones, where the abrasive layer is combined with a specially prepared tempered glass layer that stabilizes the entire stone. The glass features a full description of the gradation, grit thickness, and catalog number, allowing you to use the entire abrasive layer without worrying about identifying the stone. The excellent combination of glass and abrasive allows the sharpening surface to be utilized down to the last millimeter, without fear of chipping the stone.

The unique structure of Glass Stone stones with a very high grit allows for highly efficient sharpening of any knife. This also contributes to the stone's durability, as it wears out extremely slowly and only occasionally needs to be flattened. The "Glass Stone" series stones are among the hardest on the market.

When using SHAPTON stones for the first time, soak them in water for about 6 minutes. The specially developed "Splash&Go" technology prevents the stone from absorbing too much water. This allows you to generously spray the stone with water when sharpening knives again, eliminating the need for long re-soaking.
