Shapton ceramic whetstones for professional sharpening.
Shapton whetstones are made in Japan from high-quality ceramic materials, designed for fast-cutting, slow-wearing performance. Whether you're maintaining a daily edge or restoring a neglected blade, Shapton stones deliver consistent, reliable results across all knife types.
Efficient "Splash and Go" Design
Unlike traditional waterstones that require soaking, Shapton stones are ready to use with a simple splash of water. No preparation time — just sharpen and go. A practical choice for professional kitchens and home cooks who sharpen regularly.
Available Grits
Each grit serves a specific purpose. For best results, work from a lower grit to a higher grit.
- #320 – Coarse. For repairing a damaged edge or reprofiling a bevel.
- #1000 – Medium. The most commonly used grit for regular sharpening and edge maintenance.
- #5000 – Fine. For refining and polishing an edge after initial sharpening.
Protective Storage Case
Each Shapton stone comes with a hard case that doubles as a non-slip sharpening base during use. The case protects the stone during storage and transport, keeping the surface clean and ready for the next session.
