Shapton Glass HR 6000 ceramic sharpening stone

The Shapton Glass HR stone with a grit size of #6000 is used for finishing and polishing the cutting edge, and can also be used to remove burr. Using the stone after regular sharpening results in exceptional sharpness and a mirror-like finish. The abrasive particles in this stone are 2.45 microns in size.

The ceramic stones in the Shapton Glass HR series are among the best and hardest available, and do not require as frequent flattening as stones from other brands. They wear the least, and work well with various types of steel, including very hard ZDP-189 steel and R2 steel. They are the most advanced stones offered by the renowned manufacturer, Shapton. Thanks to the fact that they are so-called “Splash and Go,” they do not absorb water, which means that they can be used immediately, without long soaking, only moistening them with water beforehand.

Shapton Glass HR stones cut steel very quickly. Thanks to the use of carefully selected ceramic and abrasive materials in the production process, their hardness reaches a very high level. Shapton Glass HR stones also remain in excellent condition for a long time and do not require frequent flattening. The size of the abrasive particles (in microns) and the grit are indicated on the bottom of each stone. The white ceramic part of the stone is also glued to the bottom with glass (5 mm thick), which allows the entire thickness of the stone to be used without the risk of breakage.

Shapton Glass HR sharpening stones will satisfy those who are looking for quality and require excellent performance during work. Despite their relatively low thickness, these stones are much more durable than others.
