Shapton Glass Stones
The engineers of Shapton have developed a glass backed ceramic stone with a high volume and even distribution of abrasive particles. This translates into a stone with uniformity that cuts quickly and wears very slowly. Shapton Glass Stones do not need to be soaked before use. You simply splash the stone with water and you are ready to sharpen making them simple and convenient to use.
Shapton Glass Stones are well suited for sharpening many of the stainless steels that exist in the chef knife market today.
