Shapton Kuromaku 5,000 Grit Professional Water Stone

Shapton Kuromaku Professional Water Stones are the world's first set of color-coded sharpening stones. Each color represents a different grade of coarseness. Shapton Water Stones are superior at sharpening because of the high abrasive content, forming an edge in no time. These stones never need to be soaked in water before use, just splash on some water and start sharpening in seconds. Shapton's unique bonding technology allows the abrasives to perform at an optimum level, resulting in long-lasting sharpening stones. The broad range allows users to select stones suitable to each blade's composition and shape, giving great sharpening and a perfect finish. These stones are water stones but can also be used as oilstones. The included storage case makes it easy to carry the stones, and can also be used as a sharpening base.
