Details
Each stone is comprised of a 5mm-thick glass backing plate fused to a 5mm-thick stone. This innovative design uses tempered float glass as a foundation for each stone, giving it a degree of dimensional stability and strength while ensuring that all the abrasive is usable. 4,000-grit stone is a great stone to use just before a final polishing stone.
We recommend purchasing and using the Shapton Stone Holder (sold separately) because it provides a secure platform that protects the stone while maintaining a good working height throughout the sharpening process.

Simple, effective, fast-cutting
I have the shapton glasstone 1000 grit, 4000grit and 8000grit, along with an Atomo 400 grit diamond stone. Working through these grids has created a mirror surface on the backs of my chisels. Reflattening the glasstones with the Atomo is very quick and simple. I'm very satisfied.

Shapton works like a charm
I restore/service and hone straight razors professionally. I needed a fast cutting and very durable hone at the 4,000 grit level. I normally wear out other synthetic hones in a year. I have yet to wear out a Shapton hone.
