The premium range from the Japanese company Shapton is the glass-ceramic stone series. The sharpening particles are highly pure and homogeneous. This is noticeable when changing to finer grits: The traces from the previous grit are quickly ground out. A special bond allows quick sharpening on a flat surface.
Description

- Shapton hard bond glass Wetstone #500
- Shapton hard bond glass Wetstone #2000
- Shapton soft bond glass Wetstone #8000s (Ideal for steel high in carbon and any other steels)

- The grit rating and the size of the particles in microns under the glass are always visible
- The glass allows you to use the stone down to the last layer until you reach the glass. Most stones in the market get thinner and thinner after prolonged use and they are prone to break.

- The tempered glass back gives to the stone some extra protection in case of accidentally dropping them on the floor
