The GS Field Holder is designed to store three Shapton GlassStones neatly. When turned over, it can also be used as a sharpening base.

Dimensions: 253 x 80 x 53mm

Weight: approx. 640g

The GS Pond remains steady while sharpening and can provide you with a stable work space even away from a sink.

Sharpening generally produces a dirty slurry which often splatters over the surroundings.
The GS Pond offers a space wide enough for sharpening as well as for catching the water that drips off the stone.

Dimensions: 390 x 320 x 52mm

Weight: approx. 3,350g

*Pond only, stone and base used for representation and not included.

If you asked: "Give me a stone that isn't too soft, isn't too hard, has great feedback, is splash and go, and has its own base but won't cost me an arm and a leg,", we're reaching for the Shapton Kuromaku every time. 

Somewhat reminiscent of the Chosera (albeit with a slightly thinner stone), the Kuromaku are a splash and go dream. Softer than the Glass HR, harder than Suehiro Cerax, they represent excellent value. 

Grit: #320 Coarse (Only for stubborn steel or small repairs)
