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. 8,000-grit stones are extra fine stones used to polish a mirror finish on any blade.
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.

Perfect final stage sharpening
I also own the 500, 1000, and 4000 grit glass stones and the 8000 grit glass stone is the perfect final stage stone for hand tool sharpening. It requires only a splash of water to use and gives a near mirror surface to the tool. I finish off my sharpening routine with a brief strop on a leather pad with some polishing compound and get razor sharp results. I converted from a 6000 grit waterstone to this stone and the 4000 grit and have greatly reduced my sharpening time.
