## Description

● Shapton's largest bestseller Blades Black Baku Series

Review: シャプトンの砥石は#2000までは所持していたが、仕上砥は他社のものを使っていた。今回#5000を使用して驚いた。研ぐとき力を入れる必要は一切ない。そして切れ味は全く違う。砥石によって包丁の実力が変わるように感じる。注意事項は油断していると指を切ること。しかも切れ味がよいため痛みがない。私のような素人には#5000で十分だと感じている。
Review: 同ブランドの1000番だけでは若干切れ味に不満があったので購入。綺麗に仕上がり、切れ味も抜群になりました。これ以上の仕上げ砥も欲しくなるところですが、通常の使用であればこちらでも十分な切れ味かと思います。

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the best flattening stone for this whetstone?**
A: Trend has a super flat (+/- .0005 inch) diamond lapping stone for about $110 USD. It's double sided with 300 grit on once side and 1000 grit on another. It's an awesome option when paired with a 8000 shapton stone and some chromium oxide strop compound. Also don't bother with the leather strop, just use a piece of scrap wood.

**Q: How should the stone be flatten and how often? Does it need to be a diamond lapping plate? Also can this stone be used to sharpen ceramic knifes?**
A: These stones don't require flattening/leveling as fast as a combo stone.  They do still require maintenance.  I use my Ha No 1k to flatten a combo stone I use to upkeep house knives. I then use my Ha No 1k and 5k to flatten each other for my personal knives.  The combo gets a quip lap after every knife.  The Ha No stones last about 6-8 sessions before I notice any dip.  I'll post a video on how to my YouTube very soon.  As far as ceramic, no.  Only true diamond plates or specialty stones can sharpen those.  But if you have a real ceramic knife, it shouldn't need sharpening.

**Q: 2 days late . Where is my stone**
A: These questions aren't designed for this section, that is what messaging the seller or contacting Amazon help is for. This section is CLEARLY for asking questions ABOUT the item so someone, like myself, or a seller can answer, and others can see this question and if they have a similar question, then here is the answer.... Please utilize the system properly.

**Q: Can you use both sides of the stone or is it glued to a base?**
A: You can use both sides of the stone, not glued.

包丁研ぎの仕上げとして購入。研いだ後、広告などの紙を滑らかに「シャーシャー！」っと、手への抵抗感なく切ることが出来ました。最高です。 専用のケース兼砥石台も丁寧なつくり。石が乾ききっていないとカビが生えるため、ケースはメッシュのように通気する構造になってる。最高です！
