Shapton Glass HR ceramic sharpening stones compare very favorably with stones from other brands. They are among the best and hardest stones available. As the most advanced stones from Shapton, they are perfect for various types of steel, including very hard R2 or ZDP-189 steel. They are called “Splash and Go” because they do not absorb water at all, so they are always ready to use. Just wet them before use.

The speed of Shapton Glass HR stones lies in their exceptionally fine steel collection and very fast sharpening. Shapton Glass HR stones have both the size of the abrasive particles (expressed in microns) and the grit indicated on the bottom. It is worth mentioning that the white ceramic part is backed with 5-millimeter glass, which serves as a base, allowing the stone to be used to its full thickness without fear of breaking.

The recommended Shapton Glass HR sharpening stones meet the most demanding expectations, and, despite their thinness, they are much more durable than many other stones.
