Reviews for Shapton Pro Stone grit 5000 fine sharpening stone, K0704

This is more of a polishing stone rather than a sharpening stone. Having used a 1000 and 2000 shapton first to get the edge right, I then used the 5000 grit to finish off the edge. The feel of the stone is very smooth and responsive, making a mirror edge is short time. I did purchase the 8000 grit stone as well, but to be honest, the 5000 left my knives like razors and would have been sufficient.

Better then Naniwa superstones

I have four different Shapton stones and I find them very good quality. The stones behave as stated in terms of grit value and they are a nice chunky size. The box it comes in was a plus for me over the Naniwa because it does function really well as a stone holder during honing. They feel that they will last a long time. This 5K for me was a mid range stone to speed up the honing between 1K and 8K and it makes big difference.

Not used this stone yet, but from other reviews I've read it is an excellent piece of kit. Also excellent service from knivesandtools. Will definitely use this company again.

This really is a very good 5000 grit polishing stone.

Very good stone for the value, easy to sharpen on and leaves a very good polish!
