Shapton abrasives have been carefully manufactured to achieve the highest levels of performance and durability. Shapton ceramic sharpening stones combine extremely fast cutting action with low maintenance and less flattening. Shapton stones are created using a hardened ceramic powder suspended in a resin binder. This approach to manufacturing sharpening stones has enabled Shapton to produce a state-of-the-art product.
Shapton GlassStone® may appear thin at first glance but, don't let that fool you. They will out last most other stones that are three times the thickness. These abrasives are extremely uniform. Consistency is the primary goal for Shapton's engineers. The abrasive that you encounter with the first pass will be the same on the 5,000th pass.
