They are one of the best, as well as the hardest stones. As the most advanced stones from the manufacturer Shapton, they work great with various steels, also very hard R2 or ZDP-189 steel. They are called “Splash and Go”, because they do not absorb water at all, thanks to which they are always ready to work. Before use, you just need to moisten them. The speed of Shapton Glass HR stones consists in exceptionally efficient steel collection and very fast sharpening. Shapton Glass HR stones have both the size of the abrasive particles (which is expressed in microns) and the grit on the bottom. It is worth mentioning that the white ceramic part has been glued with 5-millimeter glass, which serves as a base, and thus allows the stone to be used over its entire thickness, without fear of it breaking. The recommended Shapton Glass HR sharpening stones meet the most demanding expectations, and despite their small thickness, they are much more durable than many other stones.
