Compared to other stones, they do not wear out so quickly and do not need to be leveled with such high frequency.

The advantage of Shapton Glass HR sharpening stones, called “Splash and Go”, is that they do not absorb water. Unlike competitive stones, they are always ready for immediate use – you just need to moisten them with water. Shapton Glass HR ceramic stones allow for quick sharpening, because they quickly collect steel. During production, they acquire unusual hardness and remain in perfect condition for a long time, without the need for leveling. They are made of precisely selected ceramic and abrasive materials. All stones from this series have marked grit on the bottom, as well as the size of the abrasive particles, which is expressed in microns. The 5 mm thick glass is glued from the bottom of the white ceramic part. It works as a base that allows you to use the entire thickness of the stone, without fear of it breaking. All demanding users will be satisfied with Shapton Glass HR stones, who will appreciate their much longer durability, despite the small thickness.
