A synthetic stone with a high degree of uniform abrasion, the Shapton needs no soaking. Compared to other synthetic stones, it creates an edge faster and doesn't wear down as quickly. So the Shapton glass stone makes shaping your knife easier and more convenient. And even when the abrasive surface becomes paper-thin, this stone still performs, thanks to its sturdy glass backing plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShapton glass stones are also engineered to produce no odor, unlike regular whetstones, which can leave an unpalatable odor on knives unless they're carefully cleaned.

Use the #500 to create a new, rough edge or fix small chips, the #2000 to create a cutting edge and the #16000 to polish and smooth out the edge. The #16000 is a great alternative to steel because it is more gentle on your blade, and results in a more resilient edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three stones slot into the field holder so you can take them with you anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/t\/3\/assets\/description_image_ShaptonStones.pdf?v=1685109409\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn about Shapton in English\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/t\/3\/assets\/description_image_ShaptonStonesJapanese.pdf?v=1685109411\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn about Shapton in Japanese\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHow to Use Shapton Glass Stone\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBefore Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo soaking required – Unlike traditional whetstones, Shapton stones require little to no soaking before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplash water onto the surface before sharpening.
