Shapton Glass Stone 500 Grit Sharpening Stone

Works great. Very happy with this. I start with this 500 and finish off with a 1000 grit stone.

I was having trouble sharpening my very hard Japanese knives (SG2 steel) with traditional stones, so it was suggested that I try these. I bought the 500 for stock removal and a mid-grit 1000 to try them out, and they are superb. The tactile feel is like no other stone I've ever used, and they make short work of the SG2 steel. I highly recommend these stones.

Purchased the 500,2000,16000 and they work as expected. Very nice stones at an affordable price

When I was first looking for a sharpening solution for my leatherworking tools, I ended up going with diamond stones. These seemed like the simplest sharpening solution because they don't require levelling. The thing that no one warned me about, however, is that they provide very little feedback during sharpening. As a result, especially when I was starting out and just learning, I found it very difficult to improve my skills and to get results that I considered acceptable. That's where the Shapton GlassStones entered the picture. They are much more "tactile," and the things that I thought would make them more difficult to use (like soaking and levelling) turned out to be very simple. They are long-lasting, easy to use, and great for building up your sharpening skills but, of course, are also a professional grade sharpening solution that you will never outgrow. Highly recommended!
