Review on 🔪 Melon Professional Whetstone by Shapton - 8000 Grit Level by Matthew Mrspeach

Excellent seller service. Highest recommendation. Ordered and delivered very quickly to my home in New Zealand. This ultra-fine 8000 grit stone is the ideal "finish" stone for final polishing of razor blades of all brands of kitchen knives after the blade has been sharpened with other stones. This Shapton stone gives excellent results if you get the sharpening angle just right. This part is very, very important - keep the same angle throughout the sharpening process, especially when sharpening with excellent stones like this one. Very easy to use, no soaking in water, just keep the surface wet and dip the blade along it. I've even sharpened old family razors on this stone and it really gives a sharp edge. Can't wait to get the 12,000 (15,000) grit Shapton stone I ordered to achieve that elusive Samuri edge! I own and use global and other Japanese knives because I prefer their thin, lightweight blades, which are great for slicing, but you'll get great results with any good quality kitchen knife. Worth six stars.
