Soundchecking the shaptons so you don´t need to.

Dosen´t the sound of an whetstone give you an good idea how it performs?
Shapton glass stones is one of the best stones on the market. They cut very fast while maintaining its shape well. Its splash and go, meaning you dont have to plan your sharpening session, just slap on some water and start sharpening.
The stone is mounted on a glass plate that is 5 mm thick. The stone itself is 6 mm thick.
Its a great product that will master any steel on the market. We recommend it!
1. Rinse the stone after use. Dont use hot water or detergents.
2. Dry the stone with a lint free cloth and let it air out in room temperature, never in direct sun light or with a blow dryer.
3. Have the stone dry with the ceramic surface facing up. Never let it dry against another stone, the ceramic surfaces might stick permanently!
4. Store the stone in room temperature.
5. If the glass should break, discard the stone. We have yet to break a stone, but it could happen if you drop it.
Mesh Scale:
Definition: The mesh scale measures the number of openings per linear inch in a screen or sieve through which particles of a certain size can pass.
Units: Mesh sizes are typically given in terms of the number of openings per inch (e.g., 60 mesh means there are 60 openings per inch).
Use: It's commonly used in industries such as mining, agriculture, and construction to specify the size of particles in granular materials.
Relation to Abrasives: In abrasives, a lower mesh number indicates coarser particles, while a higher mesh number indicates finer particles. For example, a 60 mesh abrasive has larger particles compared to a 120 mesh abrasive.
Limitations: The mesh scale doesn't provide precise measurements of particle sizes, especially for smaller particles, and it can be inconsistent across different manufacturers.
Grit Scale:
Definition: The grit scale measures the size of abrasive particles using a standardized grading system based on the number of abrasive particles per square inch of sandpaper or abrasive surface.
Units: Grit sizes are typically represented by numbers (e.g., 60 grit, 120 grit, etc.).
Use: It's extensively used in industries like woodworking, metalworking, and automotive refinishing to specify the coarseness of abrasives.
Relation to Abrasives: In the grit scale, a lower grit number signifies coarser abrasives, while a higher grit number denotes finer abrasives. For example, 60 grit sandpaper is coarser than 120 grit sandpaper.
Consistency: Grit sizes tend to be more consistent across manufacturers compared to mesh sizes, making it easier for consumers to choose the right abrasive for their needs.
Application: Grit sizes are commonly used for sandpaper, abrasive wheels, and grinding/polishing compounds.
