Shapton Kuromaku Pro 8000 Ceramic stone

The excellent Shapton Kuromaku Professional stone with a grit of #8000 is designed for finishing and polishing the cutting edge. With the help of this stone, we are able to achieve an exceptionally high level of sharpness. The presented #8000 stone does not give a “mirror” effect during polishing, but leaves a light matte – a foggy finish, similar to that obtained on natural stones. One of the hardest sharpening stones, excellent Shapton brand products, have no equal. Water stones from the Shapton Kuromaku Professional collection, when compared to other companies, do not wear out so quickly, and what’s more, there is no need to level them so often. They can be used to work with steels with high hardness, e.g. R2 or ZDP-189. Thanks to the property of not absorbing water, Kuromaku stones called “Splash and Go” do not require soaking before use (this distinguishes them from the vast majority of competitive brands). Before use, you only need to moisten them and you can already sharpen kitchen knives with their help. The exception is the first time, when it is recommended to soak a new stone in water for a while – for about 5 minutes – and then you can start working. The advantage of Kuromaku Professional ceramic stones is also their speed – they collect steel very efficiently, allowing the user to sharpen quickly. The excellent ceramic stones from the Kuromaku Professionals series are packed in a useful box that also serves as a stand during sharpening. Note – Shapton Kuromaku Professional stones should not be soaked in water for more than a few hours.
