Shapton is a Japanese manufacturer of premium ceramic sharpening stones and accessories, known for its “SHARPEN YOUR LIFE” philosophy and focus on fast, precise edge formation. Their stones use a high abrasive content and advanced bonding technology to cut quickly while resisting wear, so you spend less time sharpening and enjoy a consistently flat, long‑lasting surface. With lines such as the colour‑coded Kuromaku waterstones and the innovative GlassStone series built on tempered glass, Shapton offers dialed‑in options for everything from coarse reshaping to ultra‑fine polishing on modern tool steels and knives.
Shapton stones allow you to form an edge in no time with three key features: high abrasive content, no need for soaking beyond the initial preparation, and exceptional durability thanks to their advanced bonding technology.
Shapton Glass Stones are thinner and lighter than conventional sharpening stones, with layers of tempered glass that provide strength, stability, and resistance to cracking or breaking if dropped.
Shapton stones only need to be soaked when they are first purchased; simply soak the stone in water for about six minutes to prepare the surface for smooth, consistent sharpening.
