Review: Excellent Stone with a Worthwhile Learning Curve - As expected from its reputation, this Shapton #1000 stone is a pleasure to use. There is a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get the feel for it, the results are outstanding. A reliable and satisfying sharpening stone that you won’t regret owning.
Review: Best stone ever - I spent quite a bit a few $$$ on much more expensive stones (e.g. Kingston) and had only mediocre to bad sharpening results, in spite of years of practice:(- . I simply could not get certain older (but then high end) German kitchen knives sharp again and was ready to throw them out. Then came the point when my newer Japanese V10 steel knives needed sharpening. An AI research (I believe Google Gemini) recommended that stone, and I decided to give it a last try. The results were excellent, the stone easily “attacks” German steel as well as higher quality kitchen knife steels like V10. It does not need soaking and is always ready to use with a splash of water. And I finally feel that I mastered the art of knife sharpening and can use my old knives again !

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have to soak first? Or can you just spray with water prior to use?**
A: Splash and go, This one (1000) grit does not require that much water. the 320 grit (blue stone) requires lots of water....it is technically a splash and go as well, but I find that it works better for me if i soak it for a short period of time....like 5 - 10 minutes.

**Q: Is this "Shaputon 2000" REALLY the "Ha no Kuromaku KO703" by Shapton as depicted on your picture, or is it a different product?**
A: I received a genuine Shapton product when ordered 2000 grit one. They should be the exact same performace stone as Shapton Pro range.

**Q: Is this stone two sided with varying grains? The side with writing on it seems rougher.**
A: Thanks for the question. This grinding wheel is one-sided. It will be combined with the medium and coarse I do not need the grindstone of Me crude to make the blade.

**Q: what are the dimensions of the actual stone?**
A: 2.75" x 8.25" x .6"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stone, good value, no soaking required, instructions only in Japanese
*by S***N on September 27, 2018*

This whetstone feels very well made. It's a medium coarse stone and was recommended to me as an excellent mid-grade quality stone; an upgrade over the very popular budget King 1000/6000 stone. If you only want to buy one affordable splash and go whetstone, the Ha no Kuromaku (Shapton) 1000 is a great buy. 1000 grit is a good all purpose grit level for general sharpening, 100-200 is good for major repairs, 200-500 is good for small repairs, and 5000+ is good for polishing very hard steel knives or razors. This is a fairly dense stone and does not seem to shed much. The stone is very easy to use, no soaking required. Just splash with water and start working. Very convenient to not have to soak and wait. The case is a nice touch. The case can also act as a holder while your sharpen and has rubber feet to prevent movement. I would still put this on a towel or anti-slip mat because there will still be water involved. Tip: If you only sharpen on the blank side you can keep the wording intact and always read what stone this is, but Shapton does color code there stones and orange is the color for medium 1000 grit stone. I would also get a lapping or flattening stone for future use. All whetstones will eventually wear unevenly and dish (become sunk in the middle) after many uses, when this happens it's very hard to sharpen properly. Luckily this stone is very hard and will not dish easily. The Atoma 400 diamond plate is a good flattening plate for 500+ grit stones and can also serve as a coarse sharpening plate for knife repair.
