Sharpening stone 8000 SHAPTON KUROMAKU, Dellinger

Product detailed description

This is no longer the stage where you are saving a knife from kitchen retirement. This is about details that an ordinary mortal might not even notice, but you will know they are there. SHAPTON KUROMAKU #8000 is for those moments when sharpening becomes something between a craft, a hobby, and a slightly suspicious obsession.

Main advantages:

• The Japanese sharpening stone SHAPTON KUROMAKU #8000 is designed for ultra-fine sharpening and the final honing of an already well-prepared edge.
• The JIS #8000 grit takes sharpening to a stage where it is no longer about repairing the knife, but about the precise refinement of its edge.
• The melon colour clearly indicates the #8000 grit and facilitates quick orientation among the individual stones in the 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 efficiently and allows for quick final honing of the edge.
• You will appreciate the fast sharpening and polishing effect during the final care stage, when you want to refine the edge without unnecessarily long work.
• The silicon carbide SiC abrasive provides consistent sharpening performance and supports precise guidance of the blade across the entire working surface.
• The stone is also suitable for hard steels, making it a great addition to the kit of quality Japanese kitchen knife owners.
• The #8000 grit makes sense as a final step after coarser stones, which first restore the geometry and the sharpness itself.
• The resulting surface is not typically mirror-polished, but has a very fine matte finish, which is characteristic of SHAPTON KUROMAKU stones.
• The dimensions of 210 x 70 x 15 mm provide a comfortable working surface for common kitchen knives as well as longer blades.
• The practical plastic case protects the stone during storage and also 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 colour-coded KUROMAKU series allows you to easily combine several consecutive grits to create a clear sharpening system.
• The stone is made in Japan and will be appreciated by users who want to not only restore a quality edge, but also give it a truly fine finish.
