Shapton Glass HR 1000 ceramic sharpening stone

Shapton Glass HR has a grit of #1000 and an abrasive particle size of 14.7 microns. It is a universal stone intended for regular sharpening as well as for honing the cutting edge.

Belonging to the group of the hardest and best – water stones from the Shapton Glass HR series – they require less frequent flattening and wear out significantly less than competing products. As the most advanced sharpening stones branded Shapton, they work perfectly even with very hard steel (such as ZDP-189 or R2). Thanks to the "Splash and Go" feature, they do not absorb water. Each Shapton Glass HR stone is therefore ready to use immediately after being moistened with water.

They provide high efficiency in work because they quickly remove steel and sharpen knives. Shapton Glass HR is a series of ceramic stones with exceptional hardness that remain in excellent condition for a long time without the need for flattening. These stones are made using precisely selected abrasive and ceramic materials. Each has the grit marked on the bottom, as well as the abrasive particle size given in microns. The glass glued under the white ceramic part of the stone is 5 mm thick. It serves as a base that allows the full thickness to be used without the risk of breaking the stone.

The recommended Shapton Glass HR stones will meet the expectations of demanding users, and despite their small thickness, they are more durable than other stones.
