Specifications
The Shapton #5000 is a finishing stone designed for refining your edge and restoring sharpness after medium‑grit work. It produces a smooth, polished finish that improves cutting performance while maintaining a practical level of bite. This grit level works well after stones such as Shapton 1000 or Shapton 1500, forming a straightforward progression that many sharpeners rely on.
The #5000 is on the harder side compared to other finishing stones, and some users note that its feel is less pronounced. Instead of offering soft or creamy feedback, it provides a firm, stable surface that stays consistent throughout the session. This hardness helps the stone resist dishing and maintain its shape over time, which is useful for users who value durability and predictable wear patterns. While the tactile feedback may not be its strongest feature, the stone delivers reliable refinement and a clean, even finish on the edge.
It comes with a plastic case that also functions as a sharpening base, adding convenience and stability whether you sharpen at home or in a professional kitchen. The stone’s size provides a comfortable working area, and its structure supports consistent performance during longer sessions.
