Shapton Professional Kuromaku 5000 Grit Sharpening Stone

10 items left

Shapton Kuromaku Professional Whetstone, 5000 Grit, #K0704

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. 

Be sure to check out the Shapton FAQ.

Best Price

This was the best price I could find online. Fast shipping.

Very high quality stone. Would recommend. I will keep Paul's in mind when looking for knives and whetstone in the future.

Great stone

This is my inbetween stone from Naniwa Traditional 1000 and Shapton Pro 8000. Despite lack of feedback from the stone, I find light pressure and consistent angle while sharpening brings a polished and very sharp edge, I would recommend this high quality stone.
