Shapton K0704 Blade Blade Wetsteen, #5000, finish, engine

Really good stone, this is mirror shine level of grit and ceramics are quite aggressive as well as hard wearing. The lower grits (under 1000) in this range aren’t fantastic but 1000 grit and above they are the dogs. A little water and a steady hand grab fast result. You don’t need to jump through all the grits and the stone comes with a guide to which other stones for steel types as well as the box being a stand for the stone. They don’t need water but it helps keep them clean. Very hard wearing and are lifetime purchases as well as being well priced compared to some other options. 5 star stone

It's a very high-quality stone. I bought it because I was very interested in the Shapton brand.I've been sharpening with Naniwa Chosera and Suehiro for a while, but the sharpening feel of the Shapton Kurumaku is very dry. I prefer the Naniwa Chosera or Suehiro, as they provide better feedback.

llego antes de lo esperado, en perfectas condiciones y con un embalaje muy cuidado para que la piedra no sufriera por el transporte.Una vez desembalada, la teste con un cincel que tenia muy machacado, le di el primer afilado y limpieza con mis piedras de 300 y 1500 y el ultimo repaso y el mas la mejora de filo con esta y ha quedado magnifico.Encantado con la compra

Super saubere Schärfergebnisse. Sehr sehr schneidefreudige Speigelglanz-Schneiden. Sapperlot!

This stone seems to cut quickly, wears extremely slowly, and produces a polished edge that's ready for stropping. It seems much more durable than the ice bear / king 4000-6000 grit stones I used to use, and doesn't require the use of a nagura stone. I've used it on a decent number of hand tools now and haven't noticed any cupping, wear, or change in performance. It's also big enough that it can be used for plane blades and broad chisels without issue.
