Accessories Information
The Rockstar Series from Shapton improve on the GlassHR Series by removing the glass backing, and adding extra stone thickness for a longer lifespan. They are a hard stone that offers lighter feedback levels than other stones, but cut very fast, require no soaking, and are very slow to dish.

If you asked: "Give me a stone that isn't too soft, isn't too hard, has great feedback, is splash and go, and has its own base but won't cost me an arm and a leg,", we're reaching for the Shapton Kuromaku every time.
Somewhat reminiscent of the Chosera (albeit with a slightly thinner stone), the Kuromaku are a splash and go dream. Softer than the Glass HR, harder than Suehiro Cerax, they represent excellent value.
Grit: #8000 Very Fine (For honing or edge polishing, use after the 5000)
