Use Shapton’s extra coarse grit stone to fix minor chips and damages and to create a new edge on a dull blade. You can also use a coarse grit stone to change the bevel angle ratio of your knife. After using a coarse grit stone, make sure to finish the sharpening process with a medium or fine grit stone to smooth out the scratches and to obtain a sharper edge. Shapton ceramic stones should not be soaked, making knife sharpening more convenient.

How to Use Shapton Ceramic Sharpening Stone

Before Use

• No soaking required Unlike traditional whetstones, Shapton stones require little to no soaking before use.
• Splash water onto the surface before sharpening. If the stone feels dry, apply more water as needed.

After Use

• Do not keep soaking after use.
• Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent cracking or warping.

Additional care

• Flatten the stone periodically using a lapping plate or stone fixer to maintain a level surface. Use light, even strokes to avoid unnecessary wear on the stone.
• The Shapton Diamond Stone Fixer should not be used with #120 stone. To flatten it, use another stone of the same grit as a stone fixer.
