Sharpening stone 1000 SHAPTON ROCKSTAR, Dellinger

Product detailed description

A knife doesn't usually go blunt dramatically. No flashing lights, no warning email, you just find yourself one day pulling a face while chopping a pepper that normally belongs in the gym. SHAPTON ROCKSTAR #1000 is a sensible way to put a stop to such kitchen degradation in good time.

Main advantages:

• The Japanese sharpening stone SHAPTON ROCKSTAR #1000 is a versatile foundation for restoring the edge of commonly blunted kitchen knives.
• The JIS #1000 grit with particles of approximately 11 microns offers effective sharpening while not creating an unnecessarily coarse bevel.
• The stone will help create a new working edge, restore the original bevel, and give the knife back the cutting performance needed for everyday cooking.
• The fast sharpening action saves time during regular maintenance and does not require the use of excessive pressure on the blade.
• It works well with both European and Japanese knives, and also handles harder stainless or carbon knife steels.
• For a commonly blunt kitchen knife, the #1000 can work as the main working stone without the need to start with a coarser grit.
• If the blade is significantly damaged, has chipped teeth, or altered geometry, it is advisable to first reach for a coarser #320 stone.
• After sharpening on the #1000 grit, you can continue with #3000 or #6000 stones and gradually smooth the edge to a finer finish.
• There is no need for long soaking before work - simply moisten the surface with water and maintain a thin film of water during sharpening.
• The dimensions of 210 x 70 x 10 mm provide plenty of space for comfortable guidance of small, regular, and longer kitchen blades.
• When sharpening, simply respect the original geometry of the knife, hold a stable angle, and guide the blade evenly from heel to tip.
• Gradually reducing the pressure during the final strokes helps to stabilise the edge and remove any remaining burr after the sharpening itself.
• You can also use the stone for some chisels, plane irons, and gardening tools, so it does not have to serve only kitchen knives.
• After work, simply rinse the stone, remove the sharpening slurry and metal particles, and let it dry naturally at room temperature.
• SHAPTON ROCKSTAR #1000 is made in Japan and represents a practical foundation for anyone who wants to keep high-quality knives sharp by hand and with precision.
