Shapton sharpening stones combine extremely fast cutting action with low maintenance. The Shapton line of glass water-stones has been carefully manufactured to achieve the highest levels of performance and durability. They may appear thin at first glance but they will outlast most other stones that are three times the thickness. These abrasives are extremely uniform. Consistency is the primary goal for Shapton's engineers. The abrasive that you encounter with the first pass will be the same on the 5,000th pass. And this will be true for every abrasive size.
As with every water-stone, Shapton glass stones require lapping (flattening) to maintain the sharpening surface in proper shape.
They do not need to be soaked in water; simply splash some on and start sharpening.
As with all water hones Shapton water-stones do wear concave with use and require periodic re-flattening.
16000 grit / 0.92 micron - Ideal for polishing the edge to perfection.
Dimensions: 2.75" x 8.25" (210 mm x 70 mm)
Made in Japan

The 16k Shapton is a great stone, and I often find myself spending quite a bit of time on it polishing up the edge and refining it. This stone is, by all means, a finisher, however, Shapton also has a 30k stone, which is what I consider to be the true Shapton finisher (just under .5 micron). At that point it comes down to personal preference, and like I said, this is an excellent stone and anyone shaving with an edge off this stone would be more than happy with the results.
