SHAPTON-K0710
Shapton Kuromaku Professional Whetstone, 8000 Grit, #K0710
210mm x 70mm, 15mm thick.
These Kuromaku/Professional series stones are very fast cutting and long-lasting, offering nice sharpening feedback while still being very hard so they resist dishing nicely. Note that these are splash-and-go, so do not soak these stones.
These stones come in a convenient plastic case that also doubles as a stone holder, though the affordable Naniwa universal/adjustable stone holder also works fine for these stones and will certainly be more stable and secure.
Made in Japan.

I use this stone and the 12k when refreshing a razor’s edge, and plan to use it after setting the bevel on a 1k and 5k stone. Love that it’s splash and go and I don’t need to soak it.
Pretty nice stone, gives a beautiful polished edge on my knives. Great feel and feedback, overall I’m pretty satisfied.
I needed the 8000 grit for my straight razors so I bought this one, and with free shipping who can complain. Works fantastic
