Shapton Glass HR 16000 ceramic sharpening stone

The Shapton Glass HR stone with a grit of #16000 is ideal for both finishing and polishing the cutting edge. It is worth using this stone after regular sharpening, as it will provide exceptionally high sharpness, as well as a beautiful, almost mirror-like finish. The size of the abrasive particles is 0.92 microns. The recommended Shapton brand ceramic stones from the Glass HR series are currently one of the best and also the hardest sharpening stones. They wear out very slowly and do not require frequent leveling like stones from other companies. The Glass HR series includes the most advanced stones offered by the Shapton manufacturer. They work perfectly with hard steels such as ZDP-189 and R2. A unique feature of Shapton Glass HR sharpening stones is the so-called “Splash and Go.” This means that – unlike most competing stones – they do not absorb water at all. Thanks to this, they are always ready to work, and before use, it is enough to wet them with water. The recommended Shapton Glass HR stones provide very fast work, i.e., they quickly remove steel and sharpen in an extremely effective way. During the production process, these ceramic stones gain very high hardness. They remain in great condition for a long time, so you do not need to level them. Each stone has a marked grit and the size of the abrasive particles in microns on the bottom. The ceramic white part of the sharpening stone is glued on the bottom with 5-millimeter-thick glass. It serves as a base, so you can use the entire thickness of the stone without risking it breaking. Shapton Glass HR stones are recommended for the most demanding people. Despite their small thickness, they are significantly superior to other stones in terms of durability.
