Shapton Glass Stone is not a glass sharpening stone despite its name. However, the glass forms a rigid base for the stone, giving the whole an exceptionally aesthetic appearance. Shapton Glass Stone works very efficiently as a knife sharpener, whether your knife is Japanese or European.

Shapton Glass Stone is an extremely hard ceramic sharpening stone with an exceptionally thin sharpening surface. The glass base also ensures that the stone itself can be used to the very end. It is often noted that the Shapton Glass Stone lasts as long as so-called normal thickness stones.

The best features of the Shapton Glass Stone:

• The stone is thin and lightweight
• The stone is durable in use and wears out slowly: the need for flattening is reduced, so the stones are long-lasting
• All stones in the series are quick to use

In my opinion, the finest feature of the series is that it is a true “Splash and Go” sharpening stone. As you can see below: just a few splashes of water on the stone and you’re ready to go. There is no longer a need to make a mess.

I recommend using Sabitoru eraser with Shapton Glass stones. It allows you to clean the surface of the stone conveniently.
