Shapton Pro #2000

A medium-fine sharpening stone (#2000 grit).

This stone sits right on the border between a medium stone and a polishing stone. You get a shiny and super-sharp edge with this stone, but you still maintain a certain bite in the edge, which gives the edge excellent cutting ability.

We love to finish at 2000, but it's important to have good burr control to achieve a perfect edge with 2000 grit. A little stropping after sharpening at 2000 grit therefore works wonders for the sharpness.

Dimensions: 210 x 70 x 15 mm.

Shapton Professional is a series of sharpening stones that are very effective and deliver exceptional sharpening power. The stones are 'Splash & Go' type, which means they do not need to soak in water before use. Instead, you just pour a palmful of water on the stone and start sharpening. The stones are very hard and maintain their shape for a long time. Of course, these stones also need to be flattened over time, but compared to other stones, Shapton's hard sharpening stones hold their shape for a very long time.

The stone comes in a plastic case that provides good protection for the stone. The case can also be used as a sharpening stone holder while you sharpen. Very practical.

Shapton manufactures whetstones for professional users who seek the very best. According to many, they are the absolute best stones on the market.
