Shapton Glass Stone HR 122.50 Micron #120 Grit

The Shapton Glass Stone HR 122.50 Micron #120 Grit is part of the Glass Stone series, renowned for its revolutionary design that combines glass layers to create thin and lightweight sharpening stones. These stones offer excellent usability and allow users to achieve the desired finish for any type of blade.

The 120 grit Glass Stone is the coarsest option in the Shapton Glass Stone HR series and is specifically designed for use on very dull tools and knives. It features large grit particles that facilitate fast cutting and profiling.

Contrary to the traditional perception of sharpening stones as large and heavy, Glass Stones are thin, light, and strong due to the layers of tempered glass bonded together. This construction provides them with high resistance to cracking or sudden breakage caused by external shocks, such as accidental drops.

The abrasives in these glass stones are extremely uniform, ensuring that the abrasive encountered with the first pass of a blade remains consistent throughout the stone's lifespan. This uniformity guarantees reliable and precise sharpening results.

Each Glass Stone in the series consists of a 5mm tempered glass backing plate bonded to a 5mm thick stone. Shapton sharpening Glass Stones are made with finely graded ceramic cutting media that requires less flattening and has a longer lifespan compared to most whetstones.

For premium stability and professional results, consider adding a Shapton Stone holder to your sharpening setup.
