Sharpening stone 1000 SHAPTON KUROMAKU, Dellinger

Product detailed description

A sharp knife has one unpleasant characteristic: it very quickly reminds you how much the blunt one has been annoying you for the past few months. SHAPTON KUROMAKU #1000 is a ticket back to a world where carrots do not crunch under the pressure of your entire upper body and dinner preparation does not require persuading the blade to cooperate.

Main advantages:

• The Japanese SHAPTON KUROMAKU #1000 sharpening stone is a versatile choice for regular maintenance and restoring the sharpness of commonly dulled kitchen knives.
• The JIS #1000 grit offers a practical balance between rapid material removal and creating a high-quality working edge.
• The stone is suitable for both European and Japanese knives and can also handle harder knife steels.
• The orange colour clearly indicates the #1000 grit, making it easy to find your way around a set of multiple stones.
• The hard structure and effective abrasive help restore cutting performance without unnecessarily long sharpening or excessive pressure.
• The stone can unify the bevel, restore the working edge and prepare the knife for potentially continuing with a finer grit.
• For a commonly dulled knife, the #1000 represents a very practical standalone stone that can handle most regular home maintenance.
• For a significantly blunt or damaged edge, it is advisable to start with a coarser stone and use the #1000 grit as a subsequent step.
• After sharpening on the #1000, you can continue with a finer grit of approximately #2000 to #5000 to further smooth the edge.
• The synthetic water stone uses silicon carbide SiC as an abrasive, which ensures efficient and consistent sharpening performance.
• When sharpening, a stable angle and even movement are more important than high pressure, as the stone removes material very efficiently.
• Before use, simply splash the stone briefly with clean water; long soaking before sharpening is not necessary.
• The dimensions of 210 x 70 x 15 mm provide a comfortable working surface for common kitchen knives as well as longer blades.
• The package includes a plastic case that protects the stone during storage and also serves as a practical stand.
• After use, simply rinse the stone with clean water and let it dry thoroughly before storing.
• The SHAPTON KUROMAKU series uses colour-coding for individual grits, which simplifies work during multi-stage sharpening.
• The stone is made in Japan and represents a practical choice for both beginners and more experienced users who want to keep their knives regularly sharp.
