These Shapton Rockstar stones are a great option for anyone serious about sharpening. The #3000 grit stone is great for putting the final edge onto a working blade or as part of the progression to a finer grit. These are genuine splash and go stones.

The Rock Star recipe creates stones that are slightly harder and finer than the Kuromaku stones. It’s a small difference and it will come down to user preference as to whether you prefer it. For those who know the Shapton Glass stones, Shapton considers the Rock Star to be a thicker version of the Glass Stones without a glass backing.

The smart stainless-steel case protects your Rock Star stones when not in use and includes stickers for labeling the case for quick grit identification. The case is for stone storage only and does not double as a stone holder - unlike the plastic cases that come with the Kuromaku stones.
