Sharpening stone 320 SHAPTON KUROMAKU, Dellinger

Product detailed description

Sometimes a knife no longer needs encouragement, praise, or a gentle reminder of its duties. Simply put, it needs an intervention. SHAPTON KUROMAKU #320 comes into play when, after years of service, the edge is visibly tired and returning it to shape will resemble a reconstruction rather than a cosmetic touch-up.

Main advantages:

• The Japanese SHAPTON KUROMAKU #320 sharpening stone is designed for coarse sharpening, restoring a significantly dulled edge, and faster blade repairs.
• The JIS #320 grit offers high material removal, so it helps where a finer stone would mean unnecessarily long work.
• The coarse character of the stone is suitable for quickly creating the desired edge angle before continuing to a finer grit.
• The blue-black colour clearly indicates the #320 grit and makes it easy to navigate between the individual stones of the colour-coded KUROMAKU series.
• The very high hardness slows down the wear of the stone, so the sharpening surface remains flat longer and requires less frequent flattening.
• Although the stone feels hard when in contact with the blade, it removes material surprisingly quickly and supports efficient sharpening.
• The silicon carbide SiC abrasive provides a powerful sharpening effect suitable precisely for the coarser phases of edge maintenance.
• The stone can also handle hard steels, so you can use it when caring for high-quality European and Japanese blades.
• Low water absorption allows you to start sharpening practically immediately after wetting, without lengthy preparation before the work itself.
• The dimensions of 210 x 70 x 15 mm provide a comfortable working surface for kitchen knives as well as larger blades.
• The practical plastic case protects the stone during storage and at the same time serves as a stable base during sharpening.
• The stone can also be used with oil, but this method of use is not recommended for normal sharpening.
• In addition to kitchen knives, you can also sharpen wood-working tools or gardening equipment with a metal edge.
• The surface after sharpening does not aim for a mirror polish, as KUROMAKU stones leave a characteristic finely matte appearance.
• SHAPTON KUROMAKU #320 is suitable for times when the edge does not just need reviving, but requires a more radical return to proper condition.
