Features of Shapton Glass Stones HR
Made for modern supersteels
The HR in Shapton Glass Stone HR stands for High Rockwell. These stones are harder and therefore sharpen faster and more efficiently on high-hardness steels. Think M390, 20CV, S90V or other high-end steels that you won't get sharp on just any stone. The texture of the stone is super even, ensuring constant removal and a precise sharpening results. Whether you are re-profiling with 220-grit or mirroring with 16,000-grit - you will achieve the same results every time with these stones.
Usable down to the last millimetre
The distinctive glass plate under each Shapton Glass Stone has multiple functions. It keeps the stone perfectly straight, prevents warping and provides extra stability during sharpening. Even if you only have a few millimetres of stone left, you can just keep going. That makes this series extremely durable as well as reliable. The white colour of the HR stones clearly distinguishes them from the grey HC variant. And while both perform fine, the HR series is your best friend if you work a lot with hard, modern knives. Simply put: this is sharpening without limits.
