Complete system for home sharpening
Three consecutive grits
The #1000, #3000 and #6000 stones cover the creation of a working edge, its refinement and a very fine final finish.
Stable stone holder
The adjustable RISAM RW007 holder securely fixes the sharpening stone and helps maintain a stable working position.
Cleaner workspace
The 42 × 28 cm non-slip mat catches water and sharpening slurry and protects the worktop from moisture and dirt.
Ongoing stone maintenance
The Shapton 0505 cleaning disc helps remove metal particles, sharpening slurry and dirt from the working surfaces of the stones.
Six separate products in one set
Each component has its own role during sharpening—from creating the edge, refining it and applying the final finish to providing a stable workspace and maintaining the stones.
| Set component | Role in the sharpening process | Main specifications |
|---|---|---|

| Shapton RockStar JIS #6000 | Very fine final finishing and polishing effect | JIS #6000, 2 microns, 210 × 70 × 10 mm |
| Shapton 0505 cleaning disc | Cleaning the sharpening surface and removing metal particles | SiC silicon carbide, two working sides, 70 × 26 mm |
| Non-slip mat 42 × 28 cm | Catching water and sharpening slurry and protecting the worktop | 42 × 28 cm, raised edge, grooved surface |
| Adjustable RISAM RW007 holder | Firmly securing the sharpening stone and providing more stable work | Adjustable construction, 290 × 70 × 30 mm |
From a working edge to a fine finish
The #1000 stone creates the cutting edge, #3000 smooths it and #6000 provides a fine final finish. The holder, mat and cleaning disc create a practical setup for precise and clean work.
Sharpening in three steps
1. Restoring the edge – JIS #1000
Start with the #1000 stone. This universal grit restores the cutting performance of a normally dull knife, creates a continuous cutting edge and removes minor signs of wear.
2. Refining the edge – JIS #3000
Once the edge has been correctly formed, continue with the #3000 stone. It smooths the marks left by basic sharpening and helps create a finer working edge for a clean kitchen cut.
3. Final finishing – JIS #6000
Use the #6000 stone as the final step. Smooth the cutting edge using very light strokes and minimal pressure to create a fine polishing effect.
Is it always necessary to use all three stones?
No. For routine edge restoration, #1000 followed by finishing on #3000 may be sufficient. Use the #6000 stone when you require a very finely smoothed cutting edge. However, never begin sharpening a dull knife with it.
How to use the set correctly
- Lay the non-slip mat on a flat work surface.
- Place the RISAM holder on the mat and secure the #1000 stone in it.
- Wet the surface of the stone with water. Do not use oil.
- Guide the knife evenly at a stable angle along the entire length of the blade.
- Once a continuous cutting edge has formed, move to the #3000 stone.
- For a very fine finish, complete the sharpening process on the #6000 stone.
- Gradually reduce the pressure as the grit becomes finer.
- Rinse the knife after sharpening and dry it immediately.
- Clean the stones with the Shapton 0505 disc as required.
- Allow all components to dry thoroughly and separately.
When is this set not enough?
The #1000/#3000/#6000 combination is intended primarily for normally dull knives, regular maintenance and fine edge finishing. Deeper chips, a severely neglected blade or a significant change in geometry may require a coarser sharpening stone.
For repairs and faster material removal, you can use the Shapton RockStar JIS #320 before the #1000 stone.
Learn how to use sharpening stones correctly
Knife-sharpening course using water stones
Quality stones are the foundation, but the final result is influenced mainly by the correct angle, pressure and blade guidance. During the Dellinger sharpening course, an experienced instructor will teach you how to choose the appropriate grit, create an even edge and care for both the stones and a freshly sharpened knife.
The course is also suitable for beginners. You can bring your own kitchen knife and sharpening stones and learn to work with the equipment you actually use at home.
Who is the set suitable for?
- home cooks who want to keep their knives sharp over the long term,
- owners of high-quality European and Japanese kitchen knives,
- beginners looking for a correctly matched grit progression,
- more experienced users who require a fine final finish,
- anyone who wants a stable and clean workspace,
- users who want to clean and maintain their sharpening stones regularly.
How to use the Shapton 0505 cleaning disc
Wet the cleaning disc with water and move it across the surface of the sharpening stone using light, even strokes. It helps remove trapped metal particles, sharpening slurry and other dirt.
The disc has one flat and one grooved working side. Both sides can be used. Do not apply excessive pressure during use, and regularly rinse both the disc and the stone with clean water.
Cleaning disc and stone flattening
The Shapton 0505 disc is suitable for routine cleaning and light maintenance of the sharpening surface. For a significantly dished stone, a larger flattening plate is more suitable for precise, full-surface levelling.
Care of the sharpening set
- Shapton RockStar stones do not require prolonged soaking—simply wet their surfaces before use.
- After sharpening, rinse the stones, holder, mat and cleaning disc with clean water.
- Allow all components to dry separately at room temperature.
- Do not store damp stones in a closed container.
- Clean the mat with a soft sponge or cloth without aggressive cleaning agents.
- Before each sharpening session, check that the stone is firmly secured in the holder.
Safety notice
The set is not intended for ceramic knives. During sharpening, guide the blade in a safe direction away from your fingers, place the holder on a flat surface and work without excessive pressure. Store the individual components out of the reach of children.

SHAPTON – Japanese specialist in sharpening stones
SHAPTON Co., Ltd. is a Japanese manufacturer of synthetic sharpening stones and accessories for precise edge maintenance. The brand is known for fast abrasive action, a stable structure and a wide choice of grits for kitchen knives and craft tools.
SHAPTON is based in the town of Mashiko in Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture. The company focuses on developing sharpening stones that allow fast, controlled and highly repeatable edge work. Its products are used by professional sharpeners, chefs, craftspeople and home users who want to maintain their knives by hand.
SHAPTON sharpening stones feature a high concentration of abrasive particles and a carefully designed bonding system. This allows them to remove material efficiently, provide clear feedback during sharpening and wear more slowly than many softer stones. The wide grit range makes it possible to repair a damaged edge, create a new bevel, restore ordinary working sharpness and carry out extremely fine final polishing.
You can find the complete selection in the SHAPTON sharpening stones category.
Why are SHAPTON stones so popular?
Fast abrasive action
The high abrasive content makes it possible to restore the bevel effectively even on harder modern steels. With correct technique, there is therefore no need to apply heavy pressure to the blade.
No long soaking required
SHAPTON stones are designed for quick preparation. Before sharpening, the surface is usually only moistened with water, allowing you to start working without a long wait.
Lower wear
The optimised bonding system helps use the abrasive particles more efficiently. The stones therefore retain their working properties for a relatively long time, although their flatness still needs to be checked regularly.
Wide range of grits
From coarse repair stones to extremely fine polishing stones. Users can create a progressive sharpening sequence according to the condition of the knife, the steel used and the desired result.
Main SHAPTON sharpening-stone ranges
SHAPTON Kuromaku
Kuromaku is the classic range of solid synthetic sharpening stones. Individual grits are colour-coded, making it easier to distinguish between multiple stones while working. Each stone comes with a practical plastic case that can also be used as a base during sharpening.
SHAPTON GlassStone
The GlassStone range uses a thin abrasive layer firmly bonded to a glass base. The glass support provides dimensional stability and makes even a thin abrasive layer easier to handle. The extensive grit selection allows users to build a progression from basic sharpening to an exceptionally fine finish.
SHAPTON RockStar
RockStar is a modern premium range combining strong abrasive performance, a uniform structure and a finely controlled result. It is also designed for hard blades and users who want fast work without long soaking.
Which SHAPTON grit should you choose?
The brand or product range itself does not influence the result as much as choosing the correct grit. A coarse stone removes steel quickly, while a fine stone smooths the marks left by previous sharpening and refines the finished edge.
| Grit | Suitable use | Who it is suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| #120–#500 | Repairing a damaged edge, changing the bevel and working on a very dull knife. | More experienced users and repair sharpening. |
| #1000 | Restoring ordinary working sharpness and creating a new cutting edge. | The best first stone for most kitchen knives. |
| #1500–#3000 | Smoothing the bevel and providing a finer finish after basic sharpening. | Home cooks and more demanding users. |
| #4000–#8000 | Fine finishing and polishing of high-quality kitchen knives. | Japanese knives and blades requiring a smooth finish. |
| #12000–#16000 | Extremely fine specialised polishing after the previous stages. | Experienced sharpeners and specific edge-surface requirements. |
A simple recommendation for beginners
When buying your first sharpening stone, begin with #1000 grit. Add a #3000 stone for a finer finish. A coarse stone around #320 or #500 makes sense when the edge is damaged or significantly dull.
Maintaining SHAPTON sharpening stones
During sharpening, the working surface of every water stone gradually wears and may become hollow in the centre. An uneven stone makes it harder to control the angle and can result in an irregular bevel. It is therefore important to clean the surface continuously and flatten it when necessary.
- Moisten the stone before use according to the instructions for the specific range.
- Keep sufficient water on the surface while sharpening.
- Remove sharpening slurry and metal particles after use.
- Check the flatness of the working surface regularly.
- Allow the stone to dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Store the dry stone so that it cannot fall or suffer mechanical damage.
Holders, lapping tools, cleaning discs and other equipment can be found in the sharpening accessories category.
Would you like to learn how to sharpen correctly?
A high-quality sharpening stone is only part of the solution. Maintaining a stable angle, creating a burr, applying pressure correctly and progressing through the individual grits are equally important.
View the knife-sharpening course ›Frequently asked questions about SHAPTON
Where does the SHAPTON brand come from?
SHAPTON is a Japanese company based in the town of Mashiko in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
What makes SHAPTON sharpening stones special?
They stand out for their fast abrasive action, high abrasive content, good dimensional stability and wide choice of grits.
Do SHAPTON stones require long soaking?
Usually not. SHAPTON stones are designed for quick use after the surface has been moistened with water. Always follow the instructions for the specific product.
Which SHAPTON stone should I choose first?
For ordinary kitchen knives, #1000 is the most universal grit. It restores the working edge without removing material as aggressively as repair stones.
What is the difference between Kuromaku, GlassStone and RockStar?
Kuromaku stones are classic solid, colour-coded stones in a case. GlassStone uses an abrasive layer on a glass base. RockStar is a modern premium range with fast and even abrasive action.
Are SHAPTON stones suitable for hard Japanese steels?
Yes. A correctly selected SHAPTON stone can also be used on many hard Japanese steels. The appropriate grit, a stable angle and moderate pressure are decisive.
Can tools also be sharpened on SHAPTON stones?
Yes. Depending on the chosen range and grit, they can also be used to sharpen chisels, plane irons and other cutting tools.
Why does a sharpening stone need to be flattened?
The stone may wear unevenly during use. A flat surface improves angle control, blade contact and the consistency of the finished bevel.
Need help choosing?
