Description

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.

    Great Set of Stones

    Just about everyone online will tell you these three stones are all you need to achieve a great edge; they are the industry standard for a reason

    The 320 grit took a lot of my dulled home knives up to a very nice edge before I moved up to the 1000 grit (the consensus is that it's closer to an 800 grit and I'd have to agree) and finishing on the 5000. I do feel like I'll probably be replacing the 320 first since it seems to lose more material than the other two with every use, but with as quickly as it brings a dull knife back to life? It's a worthwhile sacrifice.

    I do appreciate the color coding system Shapton uses, and I am absolutely a fan of the storage cases.
