Shapton Sharpening Stones
About Shapton Sharpening Stones
With several types of abrasive media in an extensive range of grits, this line of premium sharpening equipment lets you develop a sharpening system tailored for a particular steel, application or workflow. Requiring only a quick spray of water before use, these durable stones cut quickly and yield consistent results. The line includes traditional single-grit Ha-No-Kuromaku stones suitable for most chisels and plane blades, as well as the innovative GlassStone and GlassStone Seven ceramic stones, ideal for use on modern powdered-metallurgy steels or steels with high chromium or vanadium content. To complement the line, we offer a stone pond, stone holders and stone-lapping supplies.
