This is the most popular of the Shapton waterstones with the shear sharpeners in the USA. These stones are specific to the Japanese type metal found in most of the shears that require rideline or hone line type work. For the shear sharpeners at the 2006 Wolff Sharpeners Convention you heard sharpener after sharpener from coast to coast tell how much they loved these Shapton professional waterstones. Shapton abrasives have been carefully manufactured to achieve the highest levels of performance and durability. Shapton ceramic sharpening stones combine extremely fast cutting action with low maintenance and less flattening. Shapton stones are created using a hardened ceramic powder suspended in a resin binder. This approach to manufacturing sharpening stones has enabled Shapton to produce a state-of-the-art product. Do not store in water. Avoid oil and grime. Simply spray with water and use. Plastic case can be used as holder when sharpening. These stones are used extensively in Japan in sharpening shears but have been reformulated for the Western market reducing the amount of water necessary for sharpening and increasing the durability for a wider range of climate. They have their own plastic holder that is convenient for storage and honing. Usually for rideline work we use just the 5000 grit or a combination of the 1500 or 2000 followed by either the 5000 or 8000 grit waterstones. To true the stones use the DMT coarse diamond stone. The usual methods of truing waterstones also work such as grit or sand paper on glass and so forth. The beauty of Shapton is that you will not have to do it as frequently! |
