Accessories Information

The GlassStone series of sharpening stones uses a revolutionary design to provide great usability within a thin package formed from a combination of glass layers. The conventional image is that sharpening stones are large and heavy, but GlassStones are not only thin and light, but also strong, as layers of tempered glass are stuck together. GlassStones therefore have strong resistance to cracking or sudden breakage caused by external shocks such as being dropped.

Shapton stones do not need to be soaked except the very first time after purchase. We do recommend that on first use, you pre-soak the stone in water for five to six minutes to secure even smoother sharpening. Shapton stones do not need a Nagura Stone, and lapping with a Nagura Stone will leave the surface rough and ragged.

Accessories Information

The Knife Maintenance Bundle was designed to offer incredible value for money with a 1000/3000 grit whetstone with base, guide clip and nagura stone for achieving sharp edges on your knives, and a 10" black ceramic steel honing rod to maintain these edges between sharpening.

• Best paired with a lapping stone/plate for flatting between use
• Entry level stone
• Guide Clip Use - Consider applying masking tape to the knife to reduce potential risk of scratching.

The high-grit ceramic honing rod is an essential tool for maintaining the sharpness of your Japanese knives. 

With correct use, it can double your period between sharpening, allowing for easy maintenance of your sharp whetstone edges.   

A high grade ceramic is wrapped around a rubber shock resistant core, protecting the ceramic from breaking if dropped.
