The Shapton RockStar is the ultimate whetstone series for anyone seeking precision, efficiency and durability. Designed to sharpen the most difficult steels, including R2/SG2, ZDP189 and Hap40, the RockStar series is a must-have for achieving a perfect edge with minimum effort.

 

Unrivalled time-saving

Unlike other stones in the Shapton range, RockStar is designed to be practical and efficient. There's no need to pre-soak it, so you can use it straight away, dramatically improving your work efficiency. This feature makes RockStar an indispensable choice for specialists and amateurs alike, ensuring that your blades are always in perfect condition without wasting time.


Uniform Abrasiveness for Quality Sharpening

RockStar is distinguished by its high degree of uniform abrasiveness, an emblematic feature of Shapton's Glass Stones series. This abrasiveness enables you to create sharp edges quickly, while ensuring the longevity of the stone and your blades. Its fine, even finish is ideal for those who appreciate the precision of a perfectly sharp blade, offering a balance of power and finesse that few other stones can match.

Composition of Shapton RockStar stones

Shapton RockStar whetstones are made primarily from white fused alumina (Type WA), renowned for its ability to deliver uniform, long-lasting abrasiveness. For finer grits, such as the “NANO” class 10000 and 16000 models, calcined alumina (Type CA) is used, guaranteeing an extremely precise finish. This composition enables RockStar stones to effectively meet the sharpening needs of high-end steels, while offering exceptional longevity.
