Legal Disclaimer May be subject to VAT/GST/Duty. Review: Really Good Value - This is a great stone. I found it easy to use, and very responsive to pressure. For most use I think this is the finest grit I will need, for things like kitchen knives, and for most pocket knives. This is a quality product. Review: Worth the extra cost. - I wasn’t sure whether to buy this as they’re quite expensive but the difference between this and cheaper stones is like night and day. They do exactly what they say they’ll do in that they cut much more quickly so that you don’t have to maintain an angle for as long. The 1000 grit stone will achieve an edge which will be more than adequate for most cooks. I’ve got a selection of Yaxell knives and they’re very nearly as sharp as they were when they came out of the factory. Beautiful stones and well worth the extra cost. ## Features - 8.25 inches long x 2.75 inches wide - 1000 Grit - Fine - Lasts longer than other waterstones - No need to soak before using - Complete instructions included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0034YT47E | | Best Sellers Rank | 295,695 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 301 in Sharpening Stones | | Brand | Shapton | | Brand Name | Shapton | | Colour | Silver | | Country Of Origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 432 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04944509502022 | | Grit Type | Fine | | Grit type | Fine | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 21L x 7W x 1H centimetres | | Item Weight | 360 Grams | | Item weight | 360 Grams | | Manufacturer | Shapton | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4944509502022 | | Material | Stone | | Material Type | Stone | | Model Number | 4944509502022 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product dimensions | 21L x 7W x 1H centimetres | | UPC | 799932583230 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Stone - **Brand:** Shapton - **Colour:** Silver - **Product dimensions:** 21L x 7W x 1H centimetres - **Item weight:** 360 Grams - **Grit type:** Fine - **Number of items:** 1 - **Manufacturer:** Shapton ## Images ![Shapton Glass Stone 1000 Grit 5mm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-Npf7K9pL.jpg) ![Shapton Glass Stone 1000 Grit 5mm - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51IPSbzqZXL.jpg) ![Shapton Glass Stone 1000 Grit 5mm - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514FmjNXNNL.jpg) ![Shapton Glass Stone 1000 Grit 5mm - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61l2fObay8L.jpg) ![Shapton Glass Stone 1000 Grit 5mm - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QXSc8un3L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: are these genuine Shapton stones ?** A: Yes, these are genuine Shapton Stones. We are an authorized Shapton dealer for the USA and Canada. The stones come to us directly from Shapton Co., Ltd. in Japan. **Q: What’s the difference between kurumaku Shapton and this glass stone?** A: I own both and really enjoy both of them. The Shapton glass is smooth as butter and always a blast to sharpen on but the kurumaku is much thicker and will last longer and although it may not be as “nice” and the Shapton glass it certainly is no slouch. Hope this helps. **Q: What is best whetstone for maintaining chef’s knives?** A: For me it is the suehiro 5000 rika for maintaining a knife edge. Is a good finish and as fast as you can get. 2 stones is ideal, a 1k like chosera or the shapton then the 5k rika for finish and maintenance or keep going higher but for knives 5k is good and still mildley toothy. **Q: Should i buy the 1000 grit or 2000 grit whetstone ? most of my knives are vg-10 and hrc 62 .** A: I use the 1000 stone for most all knives. It will cut faster. Both are good, but if your just doing tuneups go with the 2000. If I didn’t have one I would go with the 1000 and strop. If your looking for a second stone check out the chosera 3000. Good luck. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really Good Value *by M***S on 10 April 2024* This is a great stone.

This is a quality product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the extra cost. *by P***N on 23 February 2020* I wasn’t sure whether to buy this as they’re quite expensive but the difference between this and cheaper stones is like night and day. They do exactly what they say they’ll do in that they cut much more quickly so that you don’t have to maintain an angle for as long.

Beautiful stones and well worth the extra cost. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy elsewhere *by P***L on 4 August 2024* I've moved from diamond stones over to these for knife and chisel sharpening. They're nice stones and cut well, i'll pick a couple more up in the future but not from Amazon, these prices are obscene, they're 40 to 50% cheaper if you shop around. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shapton Glass Stone 1000 Grit - POWERTEC 71013 Sharpening Stone Holder, Adjustable 5-1/2-Inch to 9-Inch Whetstone Knife Sharpener Holder with Non-Slip Base - Shapton Glass Stone 4000 Grit 5mm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/66683903-shapton-glass-stone-1000-grit-5mm](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/66683903-shapton-glass-stone-1000-grit-5mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
