I have 6 differnt grits from 600 to 12000 . these are quality stones that sharpen knifes very well . from my cromo15 to my bd1n or my blue paper steal and my mC67, all my blades you can shave with . they are all sharpened by these stones .

I bought the Melon 8000 and Yellow 12000, and although they give a mirror polish, they both have inclusions that ruin the edge (I can feel and hear them as the blade goes on them).Also, I expected that they would be comparable to diamond stones in terms of quality and ease of use, but not quite. I did not expect a soaking time nor having to re-flatten them once in a while, which I just cannot afford to do.I’m returning both and buying diamond instead.

A great finishing stone at a good price. I use it as for plane and chisel blades prior to stropping. I didn't know how to rate durability, as I just got it. I assume it will last a long time as its ceramic and it only used for the 2nd to final stage of sharpening.

Works as described, have been using it for a final touch for a year and a half. No complaints.

I had been completely happy with my sharpening system. Quality diamond stones, coarse, fine and extra fine, and then I would strop with either chromium oxide (the green stuff) or diamond paste. it was fast, easy and very affordable, when you consider that the stones will last a lifetime. Then i got a Shapton ceramic glass stone 6000. It also is a "splash n go" so not all of the mess associated with water stones, it cuts really fast and was easy to flatten (i use my coarse diamond for this) and it put nice polish on my steel, but i still had to strop. Well, enter the Shapton Kuromaku 12000. I just sharpened a brand new Veritas 2 1/2" wide PM-V11 plane iron. it took less then five minutes, two on the 6000 two on the 12000 and one min. to put the blade back in the plane. oh, and yes, the hairs on my arm were jumping off before the edge was even near them. Perfect performance from the plane, stropping unnecessary. It looks like touching up my edges can be done with these two stones faster and more easily than ever before. i'll still keep my strop clamped to my bench to maintain the edge of chisels while I'm using them, and don't want to drag out my stones, spray bottle and sharpening jig, (Yes, I use a jig to establish a micro bevel, and using the strop will round that over a bit. Maybe there are some who can accurately maintain a micro bevel on a strop, but I'm not one of them) but at the end of the day, I'll touch up the edges on my stones, and I don't need stropping when coming directly off of the 1200, so next time i pick up those chisels they're super sharp with a perfect micro bevel. You should probably get this stone.

Used it for fully step in the sharpening process. The knife was completely smooth and polished. Cutting meat after was so smooth!

Non posso che essere 100% soddisfatto delle pietre Shapton. Sono dure e pratiche da usare, 2-3 minuti in acqua e via.Danno un ottimo feedback e sono veloci. Rendono il lavoro di affilatura veramente pratico e più veloce di pietre morbide. La ho confrontata con un'altra di pari grado (e prezzo) giapponese ma per me non c'è paragone. Finitura lucida e affilatura da rasoio che passa ogni test. Shapton top!

I love this stone! Work very well, very smooth and give to my knives a mirror edge. It can bring kitchen knives and survival knives to razor sharp! Thanks
