Shapton Sharpening Stones

Shapton Sharpening Stones are arguably the finest ceramic water stones on the market. Made in Japan, Shapton sharpening stones are designed to last 4-5 times longer, require less flattening and cut faster than any other ceramic waterstone on the market.

Shapton's precision ground base allows you to use all of the media right down to the glass (which typically cracks and breaks with other waterstones as they become thin). Unlike similar hones, Shapton Glass Stones are made from a very dense media and do not need to be soaked in water prior to use - simply wet the surface and get to work immediately.
