Whetstone Sharpening Stone Ceramic KUROMAKU #5000 by Shapton

Excellent stone. Genuine

Really good quality stone, the best I have ever used

Great value

A bit expensive these but worth it. Really good stone.

🔹Kuromaku 1000 — The Sculptor Rough, direct, and unforgiving, but honest. 🔹 Kuromaku 2000 — The Craftsman Balanced, methodical, calm. 🔹 Kuromaku 5000 — The Poet Gentle, refined, elegant. 🔹 Kuromaku 12000 — The Mystic Silent, patient, otherworldly.

Expensive but worth it. There is basically no mud generated from sharpening and wears incredibly slowly so minimal maintenance. Does a fantastic result.

Really good stone, this is mirror shine level of grit and ceramics are quite aggressive as well as hard wearing. The lower grits (under 1000) in this range aren’t fantastic but 1000 grit and above they are the dogs. A little water and a steady hand grab fast result. You don’t need to jump through all the grits and the stone comes with a guide to which other stones for steel types as well as the box being a stand for the stone. They don’t need water but it helps keep them clean. Very hard wearing and are lifetime purchases as well as being well priced compared to some other options. 5 star stone

Great stone. Convenience of a splash and go plus a handy ventilated case it can dry in. Case works OK enough as a stand but obviously a heavier stand will be sturdier. Not fast but faster cutting than I thought - I can go straight to this from a 1000 grit - and gives a good mirror finish to the edge. Most of the time now this is the only stone I use unless I have really let something get completely dull or I need to work out chips.

llego antes de lo esperado, en perfectas condiciones y con un embalaje muy cuidado para que la piedra no sufriera por el transporte. Una vez desembalada, la teste con un cincel que tenia muy machacado, le di el primer afilado y limpieza con mis piedras de 300 y 1500 y el ultimo repaso y el mas la mejora de filo con esta y ha quedado magnifico. Encantado con la compra

I don’t use this stone an awful lot, I usually finish at 2000 grit but it does leave a nice polished edge when I do use it - mostly on EDC’s. Nice to have in the stone progression.

Der 5000er Stein ist schon top. Ich brauche danach eigentlich nichts höheres mehr, da ich nochmal kurz auf leder abziehe um den grat zu entfernen und durch das nahezu mirror-finish des 5000ers glänzt jede schneide nach 3,4 Zügen übers Leder schon. Armhaare springen förmlich ab. Abtrag ist top, Bindung auf der härteren Seite - so wie ich es mag. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert als finishing stone. Ich selbst nutze ein DMT coarse mit rund 320er Körnung und dann die Shapton Korumaku serie 1000, 2000 und eben diesen 5000er. Würde ich für den Preis jedem empfehlen, der enthusiastisch ans Schärfen rangehen will. Rasieren tut es nämlich bereits nach dem 1000er Stein.

シャプトンの砥石は#2000までは所持していたが、仕上砥は他社のものを使っていた。今回#5000を使用して驚いた。研ぐとき力を入れる必要は一切ない。そして切れ味は全く違う。砥石によって包丁の実力が変わるように感じる。注意事項は油断していると指を切ること。しかも切れ味がよいため痛みがない。私のような素人には#5000で十分だと感じている。

Il prodotto è molto buono, mi piace molto e la consegna espressa è molto veloce
