The GlassStone series of sharpening stones uses a revolutionary design to provide great usability within a thin package formed from a combination of glass layers. The conventional image is that sharpening stones are large and heavy, but GlassStones are not only thin and light, but also strong, as layers of tempered glass are stuck together. GlassStones therefore have strong resistance to cracking or sudden breakage caused by external shocks such as being dropped.
Shapton stones do not need to be soaked except the very first time after purchase. We do recommend that on first use, you pre-soak the stone in water for five to six minutes to secure even smoother sharpening. Shapton stones do not need a Nagura Stone, and lapping with a Nagura Stone will leave the surface rough and ragged.
About the Ozuku
This stone is a very fine, hard finishing stone around ~10,000 grit. Simply splash and go, work up a slurry preferably with a Nagura stone, as this stone does not form a slurry quickly.
Named for the site of its origin, the Ozuku Japanese Natural Whetstone is a product of its homeland’s finest honing practices. Although the material used to produce these pieces comes from the same site, its depth means that there can be significant differences between individual stones. As a result, even though most of these stones fall within 8,000 to 12,000 grit, the actual grit size must be discovered through actual usage. Customers should bear in mind that these pieces are meant to be used along with nagura stones, which are rubbed atop their wet surfaces to produce an abrasive slurry.
Ozuku are mined in Kyoto Japan, one of the Higashi-mono, referring to a collection of five quarries famous since ancient times for their sharpening stones. Stones from Ozuku are renowned for their fine grain and exceptional hardness, though some examples can be too hard at times.
All natural stone sales are final, we try to provide the best possible representation of the stone via our images.
