Shapton Professional stones have established a benchmark in the market for hard, fast cutting synthetic stones that are highly wear resistant and require no soaking. Each iteration of stone within the Professional line does a fantastic job for the application it is designed for, from repair work to straight razor polishing. The ease of use and fantastic results provided by this series makes Shapton Pro one of the best-selling lines of stones on our site.
Providing a higher level of refinement than the 5000 grit, the Shapton Pro 8000 grit is another popular choice for finishing work on kitchen cutlery and a progression mid-point for straight razors. This level of grit can also be used in edge-trailing, stropping applications for knife maintenance. These stones measure 8.25” x 2.75” each.
*Please note, Shapton stopped printing their name on the Pro Stones for delivery to Shapton USA at the end of 2015. All new stones have no printed ink. We are now a registered dealer with the factory in Japan and we will be providing warranty support for them here in the United States if you purchase them from us. Ships from Madison, WI.

When it comes time to rehone my straight razors, this stone is my work horse. This stone is a splash and go and is exactly like my Shapton 5K Kuromaku only a touch smoother. The speed is pretty much the same and this stone also cleans up the same way as well. This is where I start before progressing to my finishing stones.

Shapton Pro 8000 ReviewPosted By: @just_broome - verified customer
A very good stone that's responsive and snappy.
I use Chosera 800 -> 3000 -> Shapton Pro 8000 and get scary sharp kitchen knives.
I'm not a professional and I don't have a ton of knives, but I prefer to sharpen my own and regular hand held sharpeners were ruining my knives! So I learned how to do it right and this tool helps me get a tremendous edge for my kitchen tools. My friends and family appreciate me keeping their knives in shape too, cause who doesn't Zen out a little when on a whetstone =) and I don't mind doing it. Keeps my in practice!

Does the job well Shapton Pro 8kPosted By: Steve Hamley - verified customer
One of the best. I prefer it to the Naniwa Snow White Jyunpaku. I'm still testing it - on razors - and am not sure whether I prefer it or the Shapton Glass HC which I also bought from Mark. The HC Glass 8k polishes a little more and makes it easier to see any defects you've missed bring the razor bevel up, but other than that they're very similar.Cheers, Steve

Replaced by Japanese natural stones Product Review Product ReviewPosted By: ward c. - verified customer
Hard to beat the shapton 8000 fine polish stone. Doesnt clog or dry up and leaves a finer scratch patten than other 8000 man made stones I have. The resign base ceramic matrix of course make it feels more artififial than other non ceramic made stones...so the slurry is less natural and the feedback different..but makes fast work of polishing my japanese plans and chisels.

I have the complete line and unless ur going for the uber shine 8k stone is my stopping place. This thing polishes and puts the final cut on the edge that makes it perfect couldt live or sharpen without it. Espically cpm154
