Shapton RockStar Stone 3000 Grit
This is where most honing starts. If your blade pulls but still cuts, this range is about as rough as you should need to go. It grinds steel well, but is far less aggressive than a rougher stone such as 1,000. As a result, the stone does the job without grinding excess steel and shortening the life of your blade.
When to use this stone:
- Excellent polish for Japanese steel, especially a Nakiri or Santoku that will be tackling mostly veggies.
- Great stone for touchups.
About Shapton RockStar: Introducing the Shapton RockStar Stone - the ultimate sharpening tool for all aspiring rockstars! Similar to the popular Shapton Glass series, but without the glass base, these stones are twice as thick, giving you even more to work with.
Remember, these stones are magnesia-based, so if they get too dry, they could crack like a desert floor. No need to soak them, just keep them hydrated.
Get ready to rock on with the Shapton RockStar Stone!
