Description

This 2k stone from the Shapton Glass line makes an outstanding choice for a wide range of users. As the Shapton Glass stones are designed to sharpen the most modern and abrasion resistant steels on the market the stones are very fast cutting. With quick cutting speed, most users can use the 2k stone between a coarse stone like the 500 grit and a fine stone like a 6k stone. For users who need to cut the toughest of steels they can shorten the distance between stones by plugging the 2k in between a 1k and 4k making for short and effective sharpening sessions. The Shapton Glass stones are hard stones that produce extremely precise edges while wearing slowly. The stones are also extremely convenient to use since they do not require soaking, just a splash of water. The stone is mounted to a glass backing plate. The stone without the plate measures 210mm x 70mm x 5mm, the glass plate adds 5mm to the thickness

As with every water-stone, Shapton glass stones require lapping (flattening) to maintain the sharpening surface in proper shape. They do not need to be soaked in water; simply splash some on and start sharpening.

As with all water hones, Shapton water-stones do wear concave with use and require periodic re-flattening. 

For many sharpening progressions the 4k stone has a pivotal role. The 4k is often the first “fine” or “finishing” stone used. Following something in the 1k range, the 4k can produce a toothy but refined edge for a wide range of cutlery applications, or it can continue polishing an edge before stepping to an ultra-refined 8k or even 10k finish. The Shapton Glass 4k makes an excellent option in this grit range with the Shapton Glass line’s characteristic hardness helping produce precise edges, its fast cutting and slow dishing, and its splash and go convenience. The stone measures 210mm x 70mm x 5mm plus the glass backer plate the stone is mounted to which adds an additional 5mm of thickness.
