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.

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.
