Shapton glass grain 4000 is my best finish stone for all my ordinary everyday knives in the kitchen. It gives me clear feedback which makes sharpening much easier. And all my knives are razor sharp when I use this wet stone. Seems like it improves edge retention a bit as well. It cuts surprisingly quickly for such fine-grained stone. Very impressed and happy to have it in my assortment of wet stones.

Best stone

Tuesday 4 May 2021

Cuts quickly with small amount of water and no need for soaking. It works great with small secondary or micro bevels. Where it does not excel is wide primary bevels with a honing guide. You can sharpen big wide bevels (typical on Japanese planes), but it works better free hand and you need to keep changing the movement - then it works fine. If you keep using exactly the same movement (like with a honing guide) it will start feeling like gliding over rubber and start having a chatter.

What a stone! It polished the blades of my knives shiny and easily. It is a bit expensive, but this is what you pay for a quality product. I'm going to order the 8000 for the ultimate finish
