Features of Shapton Glass Stones HC
Polishing with feeling
The HC in Glass Stone HC stands for High Carbon. So these sharpening stones are made for carbon steel knives, such as white and blue paper steel. It is precisely with this type of steel that the HC series excels: it sharpens smoothly, provides fine feedback and delivers a tight, mirror-smooth result. The 4000, 6000 and 8000 grits are perfect for refining and polishing an already sharp edge. . Sharpening almost becomes a zen activity, that's how smooth it is.
Glass as a solid base
Even if you don't sharpen on glass, the glass plate under each HC stone is indeed a gamechanger. It ensures that the stone remains straight even if temperature or humidity changes. So no warping stones. And because you can sharpen down to the last millimetre, you really get the most out of your sharpening stone. And, it's also convenient that you can see how much stone you have left. Like the HR series, the HC stones are thin, sleek and durable.
