Refined edges do not come cheaply. High grit stones can be costly, the time it takes to become proficient as a sharpener is long, and carefully working through a sharpening progression is not without potential setbacks. This 16k Shapton Glass stone is available at a cost savings over its 10k counterpart in the lineup making ultra high grit refinement a little more accessible. Like all Shapton Glass stones the 16k is fast cutting for its grit rating, dishes slowly, and lasts a long time. Since the stone is splash and go, using the stone is a breeze. These stones are bonded to tempered glass and measure 210mm × 70mm × 11mm (8 1/4" × 2 3/4" × 7/16") with 5mm of usable abrasive thickness. Each stone weighs about 14 oz (400g).

I have been using this Shapton glass 16K stone (0.92um) followed by a strop with 0.5um diamond to maintain knives. the stone is truly splash and go, the touch-ups are quick and I am very happy with the results.
