## Shapton Pro Stones
In Japan, these colourful Shapton Pro sharpening stones are also known as *Shapton Ha-No-Kuromaku*. They are Shapton’s thickest sharpening stones, with a thickness of 15 mm. As befits Shapton, each stone is beautifully homogeneous in structure, with evenly distributed ceramic sharpening particles. This ensures a really even sharpening result. Because the stones are quite hard, they quickly remove material and they take a long time to wear down.
## Shapton Pro Stones: grit sizes and colours
The Shapton Pro sharpening stones are available in various grit sizes. Each of these grit sizes has a corresponding colour, so you can quickly see which stone you need.
With the Shapton Pro Stones, you have the right stone for every step of the sharpening process. From restoring an edge with the coarse grit 120 stone, through to polishing the edge with a super fine grit 12,000 stone.
## How to use Shapton Pro Stones
Every Shapton Pro sharpening stone is *splash u0026 go*: simply sprinkle a bit of water onto the stone and you can start sharpening. You’ll notice that the stone removes material pretty quickly. This gives you speedy results, and also means the stone wears down less quickly. Do **not** submerge the stone in water. This doesn’t do the stone any good! The same goes for exposure to high temperatures, boiling water or soapy water.
After use, clean the stone with water and leave it to dry. Don’t try to speed up the drying process with a fan or heater – give the stone time to dry naturally. After it has dried completely, you can put it back in the corresponding storage box.
If used frequently, the stone will hollow out over time. A lapping plate can solve this problem in no time, leaving the stone as flat as a billiard cloth once again.
## Multifunctional protective box
This Shapton Pro Stone is delivered in a white plastic storage box, which matches the colour of the sharpening stone. The box isn’t just useful for storing the stone. The top is namely enhanced with raised edges. The stone fits exactly in between those edges. This means you can also use the box as a sharpening stone holder. The non-slip feet on the bottom mean that it won’t slide while you’re sharpening. Finally, there are ventilation holes on the bottom, so you can store the sharpening stone without any worries, even if the sharpening stone doesn’t appear to be fully dry. These details make all the difference.
