Shapton Glass Stone 8000 Grit 5 mm by HMS

Shapton GlassStone HR Whetstone Grit #8000 The GlassStone Whetstone Series is a collection of beautiful whetstones that are appreciated all over the world. It uses a revolutionary design to provide ease of use in a thin package consisting of a combination of layers of glass. The conventional image is that the whetstones are large and heavy, but GlassStones are not only thin and light, but also strong and dimensionally stable as layers of tempered glass are glued together. Glass stones therefore have a strong resistance to sudden cracks or breaks caused by external impacts, such as a fall. The micron class stands for the size of the abrasive grains of a whetstone. The higher the number, the larger the grit, in other words, the coarser the whetstone. Shapton - Stones do not need to be hardened, except the first time after purchase. However, we recommend soaking the stone in water for five to six minutes before first use to ensure even smoother sharpening. The unique Shapton binding technology allows abrasives to work at an optimal level, resulting in long-lasting sharpening stones. Length: 21cm / Width: 7cm Useful height: 0.5 cm.
