Q: What stones fit this holder?
It's sized for Shapton Kuromaku and GS stones, which it holds securely at both ends and in the center.
Stone not included.

This is a substantial holder, weighing in at a hefty 4.3 lb (1.95kg). With a body constructed of eight laminated layers of tempered float glass with a molded SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) casing, it not only holds Kuromaku and GS stones securely, but its mass ensures it will not budge in use.
The holder elevates the stone to a comfortable working height, allowing clearance for working on handled tools while supporting the stone at both ends as well as in the center. An excellent foundation for Shapton stone use in the workshop.

A holder like this adds enough weight and surface support that the stone won't slide or rock mid-stroke, and it raises the stone to a more comfortable working height that also clears the handle on tools such as chisels and plane irons. This stone holder does that job with eight laminated layers of tempered float glass in a molded rubber casing.
No, the stone is available separately. The holder is built to accept Kuromaku and GS stones you already own or purchase alongside it.
It weighs 4.3 lb (1.95kg), which is part of why it stays anchored on the bench during use.
