## Description

● Shapton's biggest bestseller. Blade blackhead series.

Review: Good, even excellent - This is a good, even excellent, whetstone. For, it does the job, gives reasonable feedback (i.e. one can feel what one is doing), does not have any problem with slurry, and it does not seem to wear especially fast. I have used it with success on low-carbon knives and medium-carbon knives. I have not tested it on any very high carbon knife, though I imagine that it would work on such a knife. Other reviews here say that it does. The price is pretty good. I add the following (and in so doing I echo somewhat one of the other reviews). This remark of mine will concern medium or high-carbon knives, i.e. hard knives. If one is changing the angle of such a knife, and/or perhaps is the knife is really blunt, then one needs a coarse stone, like this one. For, under those conditions, using a less coarse stone makes it hard to get the knife sharp. (Still, what counts as less coarse? Perhaps 400 grit and above. Certainly 800 grit and above. But I'm talking about standard synthetic stones here. Matters might be different with diamond stones. As to natural stones, some of them are very hard, but at least most such stones will have a grit north of two thousand, which, for the sort of work at issue, will take forever.) I would not try to use the whetstone atop its box - as shown in one of the photographs provided by the seller. I imagine that that would work badly. One needs a proper whetstone holder. For _storing_ the stone, the box is fine, though I prefer the Naniwa boxes. (Incidentally: to my knowledge, Naniwa does not do a stone in the 300-400 grit range, at least not within its more serious lines of stones.)
Review: Great coarse stone - Works well. Takes down metal quickly and effortlessly, ready for the next stage. Definitely a must if you need to reprofile, thin, or correct chips etc. Or just to get a fast edge on an especially blunt knife. For a rough grit, this doesn't seem very soft, which I like. This stone should last a long time. I had an old 220G wet stone, it needed flattening after every use, didn't last long at all. Not the case here. My two cents on sharpening grits; I feel like new sharpeners are scared of coarse grits because they don't want to damage anything, so they tend to start at too fine a grit. It's important to remember the amount of material you remove to get from blunt to sharp is the same regardless of grit. The difference is how many strokes it takes you. It's not a small difference either, if you start with a blunt knife (butter knife) with a 220, 400, 1000, 3000. You could get a mirror polished, hair popping edge in about fifteen minutes, if you started with 1000 or 3000 you could genuinely be there for hours and not achieve what you want. And you would have used up a lot of expensive stone. You can get a shaving sharp edge with (skill) this stone and a strop. The finer grits get you a nice polished egde. Although I think it's generally accepted that 1000G is ideal for dressing a "not too blunt" knife.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the #120 compare to a dmt xxcoarse? i need something for resetting bevels on chisels and plane irons that's faster than my current xcoarse.**
A: I have both.  It cuts slower at first. Until you break it in.  You'll see after a while that the scratch pattern from the shapton are much courser than the dmt

**Q: When it will be available again The 120 grit ?**
A: You need to ask either the manufacturer or the distributor this question.  I doubt anyone at Amazon knows the answer.

**Q: Is the Shapton 120 traditional ceramic? Is it the Pro?**
A: yes, both are ceramic stones

**Q: Is this the Japan model or the US export model?**
A: Good question. I paid $65.00. Saw some similar for $38.00, after I ordered the $65.00 one. Can't tell if there is a difference.
