Full description
This Shapton Glass Stone grain 120 is a coarse sharpening stone to restore the edge of blunt knives. You can also use this stone to change the sharpening angle of your knife. The sharpening stone sharpens quickly and evenly. Which is exactly what we're looking for from a high-quality sharpening stone. Contrary to what you might expect from the name, the glass doesn't do the sharpening. You sharpen on a high-quality Japanese whetstone. A layer of tempered glass is attached to this to prevent bending.

I've been using Japanese water stones for a decade or so, but felt the glass stones are barely anything more than a gimmick. I was so wrong! I absolutely adore this stone. It makes a quick work of sharpening badly worn knives and is less messy than soaking stones. Plus, it looks nice :)

Bought it thinking it would speed up hand grinding small bevels. Unfortunately it totally does not work for that. It cuts very slowly (A2, PM-V11), require constant flattening to loose some abrasive to cut, otherwise it just get very even and leave blade more polished than my 300/1000 grit trend stone, both of it's sides! Eventually I have no use for it.

If you have any repair work or a re-profiling then this stone is ideal for you, otherwise I would go for a higher grit level as this removes a lot of metal. Great stone and typical Shapton quality (that is exceptional). Shaptons suit me great because they're 'splash and go' so no need to soak the stones which I don't have time for.
