Description
Use this fine-grit ceramic stone after sharpening with coarse and medium grit to remove any scratches on the surface or to simply realign a slightly dull edge for a razor-sharp finish. Using a fine-grit stone to polish your edge can help to make carbon steel knives more rust-proof. Shapton ceramic stones should not be soaked, making knife sharpening more convenient.

How to Use Shapton Ceramic Sharpening Stone
Before Use
- No soaking required Unlike traditional whetstones, Shapton stones require little to no soaking before use.
- Splash water onto the surface before sharpening. If the stone feels dry, apply more water as needed.
After Use
- Do not keep soaking after use.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent cracking or warping.
Additional care
- Flatten the stone periodically using a lapping plate or stone fixer to maintain a level surface. Use light, even strokes to avoid unnecessary wear on the stone.
