Grade #12000 stone Shapton Kuromaku Professional makes it ideal for finishing as well as final polishing of the cutting edge. Using this stone every time after sharpening the knife allows achieving incredible sharpness. Shapton Kuromaku Professional #12000 also leaves an exceptionally beautiful mirror finish.

Water stones from the Shapton Kuromaku Professional series are undoubtedly some of the best on the market. They are also among the hardest sharpening stones, characterized by low wear and no need for frequent flattening. They handle various types of hard steels very well (e.g., ZDP-189 steel or R2).

Kuromaku stones – "Splash and Go" – also have the advantage of absorbing water to a small extent. Unlike most other stones, they do not require soaking in water. Before the second and subsequent uses, it is enough to just wet them, while for the first time it is recommended to soak them for only 5 minutes.

Excellent Kuromaku Professional ceramic stones quickly remove steel, thus providing fast sharpening. The manufacturer uses selected ceramic and abrasive materials to produce exceptionally hard stones that maintain their condition for a long time without the need for flattening. All stones are packed in boxes that serve as a stand helpful during sharpening.

Note – it is not recommended to soak stones from this series for more than a few hours.
