Sharpening stone 16000 SHAPTON GLASS, Dellinger

Product detailed description

Abrasive particles measuring just 0.92 μm give this stone a role somewhere between sharpening and surgical cosmetics. The Stone is no longer meant to correct errors or create an edge, but to very gently finish the bevel, remove traces of previous grit, and elevate the surface to a high degree of polish.

Main advantages:

• The Japanese SHAPTON GLASS sharpening stone #16000 is designed for an exceptionally fine edge finish, where real details matter.
• The JIS #16000 grit with an abrasive particle size of 0.92 microns makes it possible to achieve a very smooth and precisely polished edge.
• Such a fine stone comes into play mainly in the final stage of sharpening, when you want to push the sharpness to the highest level.
• A very fast sharpening and polishing action shortens the time required for the final finish and makes meticulous work with the edge more enjoyable.
• The Stone is suitable for stainless steel as well as exceptionally hard steels used in high-quality Japanese and European knives.
• The ceramic abrasive layer is laminated onto a tempered glass backing, which helps maintain the exceptional flatness of the working surface.
• The solid glass backing prevents the stone from bending and provides the stability crucial for precisely guiding the blade at the chosen angle.
• Extremely low wear means a long service life and slower loss of flatness, even with regular care of high-quality knives.
• No long soaking is required before sharpening, as simply splashing water on the working surface is enough for quick use.
• The dimensions of 210 x 70 x 10 mm provide a comfortable working surface for precisely guiding both standard and wide kitchen blades.
• The abrasive layer itself is 5 mm thick, with the rest of the construction consisting of a solid glass backing that ensures stability.
• The exceptional flatness of the working surface is also practical when sharpening wide blades, where any unevenness is significantly more pronounced.
• You can use the stone not only for kitchen knives, but also for wood-working tools or gardening equipment.
• The slim design of the SHAPTON GLASS is easy to store and makes sense as part of a set of multiple stones with progressively increasing fineness.
• The SHAPTON GLASS #16000 is the choice for the moment when you no longer just want to sharpen a knife, but bring the edge to an exceptionally fine finish.
