They remove metal very efficiently, and the stones are very hard. The hard ceramic wears down very slowly and therefore does not need to be particularly thick. The stone uses minimal water and is of the 'splash \u0026amp; Go' type, which means you don't soak the stone in water before use. Instead, you pour a palmful of water on it and start sharpening immediately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWe give Shapton Glass Stones our warmest recommendations.

A hard stone is practical as you don't need to flatten it as often. On the other hand, the Pro stone is thicker. We estimate that the Pro stone's lifespan is slightly longer, but Shapton Glass maintains its shape better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eOne advantage of Shapton Pro is that it comes with a holder\/case and the stone is reversible.
