SHAPTON - Knife Sharpening Stone - #5000

Shapton Professional #5000 Waterstone: Precision Finishing for Hard Steels

The Shapton Professional #5000 Waterstone is a fine finishing stone designed to deliver a razor-sharp edge and a polished finish, particularly on high-carbon Japanese knives and tools. Its superior grit makes it an essential part of any sharpening routine, offering excellent results for both professional chefs and dedicated home cooks.

Outstanding Performance and Durability

Known for its consistent flatness, the #5000 stone maintains its shape even after extended use, thanks to Shapton's meticulous manufacturing process. To ensure optimal performance, we recommend light flattening with a diamond plate or sandpaper on glass after use.

Ideal for Finishing and Polishing

The #5000 grit level is perfect for creating a finely honed edge, making it the ideal finishing step in your sharpening process. From this point, your knives and tools will cut exceptionally well. For even more refinement, the transition to the #8000 stone is seamless, while the #12000 Shapton Professional can be used directly after the #5000 for a mirror-like polish.

Practical Design and Storage

The stone measures 210mm x 70mm x 16mm and comes with a durable, stackable plastic case. This case not only protects the stone but also serves as a convenient base during sharpening, ensuring stability and ease of use.

Upgrade your sharpening routine with the precision and lasting quality of the Shapton Professional #5000 Waterstone—trusted by professionals for delivering exceptional edges.
