Shapton RockStar 2000 Grit Sharpening Stone (White Alumina – WA)
The Shapton RockStar series is designed for fast, precise sharpening with excellent feedback and long-lasting performance. Built with a high abrasive concentration and advanced bonding technology, these stones deliver consistent results while maintaining a controlled, refined feel on the blade.
The 2000 grit RockStar is an ideal refinement stone that bridges the gap between medium and fine sharpening. It removes the scratch pattern left by 1000 grit stones while further strengthening and smoothing the edge. The result is a noticeably sharper, cleaner edge with improved bite and edge stability, well suited for most kitchen knives.
Despite its refined finish, the RockStar 2000 maintains strong cutting power and performs well even on harder steels. It delivers a delicate, uniform finish without feeling slow or muddy, making it a pleasure to use for extended sharpening sessions.
RockStar stones are splash-and-go and require no soaking. Simply add water and begin sharpening immediately. The durable 10 mm construction helps the stone stay flat longer and ensures reliable performance over time. An optional stainless-steel case (sold separately) provides safe, attractive storage and complements any sharpening setup.
Abrasive Type: White Alumina (WA) – a refined aluminum oxide abrasive known for clean cutting action, excellent feedback, and balanced wear across carbon and stainless steels.
Care Instructions: Do not soak this stone for extended periods. Splash with water only. After use, wipe dry and allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, wind, heaters, hot water, detergents, dishwashers, or dryers. Rapid temperature changes or forced drying may cause cracking.
