Product description

Grit: #8000 "Melon"
Long: 210 mm
Wide: 70 mm
Thick: 15 mm

NOTE!

"Splash-and-Go" stones do not tolerate prolonged storage in water. Use water only as much as the stone requires. Do not submerge the stones in a water basin. After sharpening, immediately wipe the stone clean with a towel. This keeps the stone looking tidy and initiates the drying process. Place the stone where it does not touch a solid surface. Let the stone dry horizontally, for example, by placing it over a pen. Allow the stone to dry slowly and peacefully without additional heating. Do not expose the stone directly to sunlight, and do not let the stone freeze while damp. The drying process takes more than a day. Store the stone protected from impacts, for example, in its box without the possible original foam padding. Please do not put the stone in a plastic bag while still damp.

I bought a Ralph Aust straight razor brand new. It was sharp but not shave ready so I had to refresh the edge. I started with this stone. No pressure at all. After a few strokes about 80 the feeling I was getting was that the razor is in the air. No friction at all. The razor was ready for the finishing stone. So I went to Shapton 12000 for this. At the end I strope on cork with green chromium oxide about twenty strokes and then leather about a hundred strokes. The result was great. I had a smooth shave! I was happy because it was my first hoaning and it was successful! The Shapton are great stones specially for beginners like me. Highly recommend!

Gives a really nice mirror polish. Haven't used it on all the knives but the finish and feel are quite nice.

HIOMAKIVI compared 8000 stones

I'm regularly asked what the best whetstone is or best suited to a particular job. I have now taken the finishing stones from the 8000 grit range to test. The opinions in the video are the result of my testing.
