Shapton Kuromaku Pro 5000 Ceramic Stone

The Shapton Kuromaku Professional Stone with a grit of #5000 is used for finishing and polishing cutting edges. It is also suitable for removing burrs. By using the #5000 stone after regular sharpening, you can achieve exceptional sharpness.

The unique Shapton Kuromaku Professional series of sharpening stones consists of some of the hardest and best sharpening stones available. They wear very slowly and do not need to be flattened as often as other stones from competing brands. They can be used on hard steels, such as ZDP-189 and R2.

“Splash and Go” means that Kuromaku stones do not absorb water like most other stones. Thanks to this property, they do not need to be soaked before use – just moisten them, and they are ready to go. At the same time, it is worth soaking the stone in water for about 5 minutes before first use to enjoy its best performance.

An advantage of every Kuromaku Professional Stone that cannot be overlooked is its extraordinary speed of steel collection and sharpening. Carefully selected ceramic and abrasive materials contribute to its excellent performance, including the fact that the stones do not require flattening for a long time. Each sharpening stone in this series is packed in a functional box. It also works well as a stone holder during sharpening.
