Review on πŸ”ͺ Shapton Ceramic KUROMAKU #1500 Whetstone Sharpening Stone by Bryan Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

1500 is incredibly rough and fast.

Porcelain stone is smooth to the touch, but it can be deceiving. 1500 grit is incredibly fast and can easily break a blade if you're not careful. Just three passes and my knife feels sharp. I thought about getting a 400 at first, but the walk through the blade isn't worth it unless you're sharpening an old hatchet or something. I would also consider getting 5000 grit or higher for a high gloss finish.

Pros
  • Tools and household goods
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
