Shapton sharpening stones are considered to be among the best in the world. Their previous series called Shapton Glass won the hearts of sharpening professionals around the world and is also often used in professional kitchens to sharpen and maintain the sharpness of knives. Their new product, the RockStar series, represents the same technology, but twice the size of the stone!

The RockStar series of stones are manufactured using the well-known technology of the Shapton Glass series with an increased amount of grinding part, which places these stones at the very top of the list in all aspects that are important for sharpening.

Grit #2000 is one of the fine whetstones and achieves already perfect sharpness results. Many users who have Japanese knives prefer to polish their blade to this graining so that the knife has a "bite" and thus easily cuts foods that have a skin like tomatoes or eggplants. Certainly, this stone leaves an exceptional edge that will be capable of performing any kitchen task and is highly recommended by us.

Durability: Although Shapton stones wear out incomparably slower and last significantly longer than any other sharpening stone, the main complaint of users on the previous series was the small thickness of the whetstone itself. The RockStar series uses the same proven recipe and the stone is twice as thick! This is exactly what guarantees the best value for your money that you can expect from the RockStar series!

Resistance to deformation: The key item when sharpening is the flat surface of the stone. In this segment, Shapton absolutely dominates when it comes to ceramic-based stones. From the Shapton RockStar series, you can expect perfect performance with minimal deformation of the stone during operation, which ultimately results in a better and longer-lasting sharpness.

Steel Cutting Speed ​​(Abrasive Quality): Some steels can be quite challenging to machine, especially when you have an extremely dull blade made of very hard steel that needs to be sharpened. On the Shapton RockStar stone, you can process all steels with a hardness of up to 65HRC without problems, extremely efficiently, and these are almost all knives on our market!

Splash & Go technology: Unlike most other manufacturers, Shapton stones and the RockStar series are made in splash and go technology, which means that the stone does not need to be immersed in water before sharpening. It is enough to just wet the stone and you are ready for sharpening when you want it, without wasting time. You will admit, very convenient!

Dimensions: 210mm x 70mm x 10mm

Weight: 500g

Method of use: Place the stone on a stand or on a raised surface so that there is free space for hand movements. Shapton RockStar stones are made in "splash & go" technology, which means that they do not require pre-soaking before use, just wet it and you are ready to go. When sharpening, add water as needed.

After use, rinse the stone under cold water, do not use a sponge or washing detergent. When you have washed the stone, lay it upright so that the water can drain. Do not dry the stone with a cloth, but leave it to dry naturally.

Note: the stones are fragile, so keep them from falling.
