Shapton Glass Stone 6000 Grit Sharpening Stone

Shapton Glass Stone, 6000 Grit, #50503. 

210mm x 70mm, 5mm thick (total thickness is 10mm: 5mm of abrasive bonded to 5mm glass plate). 

Shapton GlassStones are very fast cutting and long-lasting. The ceramic abrasive is permanently bonded to a glass plate so the whole unit is very flat and very strong. The abrasive is extremely consistent and dense so you have a great feel and can produce very precise and clean edges, plus these have the convenience of splash-and-go sharpening (do not soak these stones).

The Shapton Stone Holder or Field Holder is designed to fit these stones perfectly. The more affordable Naniwa universal/adjustable stone holder also works fine for these stones.

Made in Japan.
