#2000 Grit Ceramic (Green) Professional Series Water Stone - Shapton

This stone cuts well and gives great feedback letting you know when your off your angle. It cuts pretty fast and leaves a good scratch pattern you'd expect for 2000 grit. The price is decent considering it will last for a very long time. It also doesn't have the issue of missing coverage you get with diamond stones particularly DMT stones.

I had the Shapton Pro 1000 and 5000 grit stones and a 320 grit DMT Diamond Stone to set the initial edge. I was getting good and consistent results with this combination but felt that I just wasn’t getting the sharp but reasonably durable and longer lasting edge that I wanted. I also have a ceramic sharpening rod of 2000 grit that I use to touch up the edge in between sharpenings with my stones. I was actually improving the edge beyond the initial stone sharpening so I thought that using a 2000 grit stone would improve the initial edge. I bought this Shapton Pro 2000 and sharpened my four most used knives using the entire stone sequence of 320/1000/2000/5000. Each of my knives, a stainless steel Japanese Santoku, a Henckel Chef knife, a Henckel utility knife and a flexible Victorinox boning knife had the best edges that I have ever been able to produce. They all have very sharp, very smooth edges that seem to be very durable so far. I will continue to use my ceramic rod to touch up the edges but if I didn’t have it I would touch it up with this Shapton 2000 grit. This was an excellent addition to my original stones and therefore for me was an excellent value.

Got it with the 1000 and 5000 grit stones.And its amazing. A must have

Good for kitchen knife and for other tools but not for professional hair scissor

I got it along 1 and 4 and 8 thousand grits.

This is a great sharpener stone to maintain a nice edge on a knife, good to use after the 1000 stone

Nice stone

Great quality as usual for shapton stones. Have three of them price Is affordable and they get a knife sharp fast.
