Up for sale is a premium set of three professional Japanese Shapton Pro (Kuromaku) water stones. This is the ultimate progression set for anyone serious about knife sharpening, covering everything from minor repair and profiling to a razor-sharp, mirror-like finish.
These stones were an unwanted gift and have been used only once just to test them. They are in absolutely flawless, pristine condition – perfectly flat, clean, and stored in their original cases.
Shapton Pro 320 Grit (Model: K0709 - Orange)
Purpose: Coarse stone. Ideal for fast metal removal, establishing a new bevel, profiling, or repairing minor chips on the blade.
Shapton Pro 1000 Grit (Model: K0702 - Orange/Clay)
Purpose: Medium/Medium-Fine stone. The absolute backbone of any sharpening routine. It refines the scratches from the coarse stone and brings the edge to a highly functional, aggressive sharpness.
Shapton Pro 5000 Grit (Model: K0704 - Wine)
Purpose: Finishing/Polishing stone. Removes the micro-burr and polishes the cutting edge to a razor-sharp, mirror-like finish. Perfect for kitchen knives, razors, and woodworking tools.
Splash & Go: Unlike traditional Japanese water stones, these do not require soaking in water before use. Just splash some water on the surface, and you are ready to sharpen immediately. This saves time and prevents mess.
Hard Wearing & Fast Cutting: Shapton stones are famous for being incredibly hard and wearing down very slowly. They stay flat for a long time and cut steel exceptionally fast.
Ingenious Storage Case: Each stone comes in a sturdy plastic color-coded box. The box isn’t just for storage – it is designed with non-slip rubber feet to be used as a stable stone holder while sharpening!
