This **Shapton Glass Stone grain 600** is a sharpening stone that will help you sharpen knives that have lost their sharpness. Grain 600 is coarse enough to quickly remove material and restore the edge of a blunt knife, but not coarse enough to restore a damaged edge. For it you need a coarser sharpening stone. The sharpening stone sharpens quickly and evenly. Which is exactly what we're looking for from a high-quality sharpening stone. Contrary to what you might expect from the name, the glass doesn't do the sharpening. You sharpen on a high-quality Japanese whetstone. A layer of tempered glass is attached to this to prevent bending. 

This stone is suitable for sharpening almost all types of knives. From outdoor knives to kitchen knives, from pocket knives to chisels. These stones really come into their own with hard steels in particular. Think of the modern powder steel types that you will find with pocket knives in the high segment.

## Shapton Glass Stone Splash & Go

This sharpening stone really is *splash & go*. That means you don't have to submerge it in water before use. Simply sprinkle some water onto it and the sharpening can begin. It removes material quickly, so the sharpening process is quick and easy. This also means the stone doesn't wear out as fast. The glass plate ensures you can use the stone right to its limit, further increasing the lifespan of your sharpening stone. Even as the stone gets thinner after years of use,

## Shapton Glass Stone

The sharpening result is very even. The sharpening particles, made from white aluminium oxide, are very uniform in their shape and size. The minuscule "scratches" you add to your edge with this stone are therefore very even. You won't find it causing larger scratches that are difficult to file away with a finer grit. Sharpening enthusiasts truly appreciate this. This *Shapton Glass Stone* is quite simply one of the best sharpening stones on the market.

Solido e veloce nel creare un burr e rimuovere lo sporco dei gradi precedenti

Very nice stone . Good feeling, and fast cutting. I will get 320 also, for faster thinning. Shapton glass are great at coarse grit

Really happy with this stone, do the job.

This stone is a killer!
I'm beginning to have a small collection of quality Japanese stones (Suehiro, Naniwa and Shapton, from #220 to #5000) and as time goes by I realize that this one is my favorite (with the naniwa pro #800)! It's very fast and efficient, doesn't clog up much, gives good feedback and is surprisingly soft for a #500... And frankly, when you know how to use it, you'll be able to get crazy sharp edges on your kitchen knives... With this stone, you can quickly sharpen very dull knives... and after a few deburring passes and a careful stropping on the leather, they will go through a sheet of newspaper with almost no noise. Frankly, I wonder why I have other stones ^^
This Shapton #500 is incredibly underrated. It's one of the best stones on the market. Its only drawback is its thinness... but it doesn't wear out quickly and if, like me, you're lucky enough to buy it for €29.90 on special offer, then it becomes excellent value for money!

Zeer tevreden over deze slijpstenen van Shapton. Ook voor een houtbewerkingshobby zijn ze ideaal. Door de glazen plaat blijft de steen mooi vlak en stevig, ook als er al flink wat van het slijpmateriaal verdwenen is. Reguliere slijpstenen zullen dan gemakkelijk breken. 
Een ander voordeel is dat de slijpstenen niet, zoals wetstenen, eerst heel lang in water moeten weken om zich vol te zuigen. Simpelweg wat water er op doen en je kan beginnen met slijpen. Ideaal om een mes/beitel/schaafbeitel snel weer scherp te zetten.
