The Shapton Millstone Mastermind Green Whetstone - #2000 is designed for users who need efficient medium grinding and finish grinding for their tools. Its primary benefit is saving time and effort during sharpening, offering a non-slippery feel for enhanced control. A key consideration is that it's a specialized grit for specific sharpening stages, meaning it may require other grits for a complete sharpening process. This Japanese-made whetstone features a #2000 grit, a green color, and dimensions of 210 x 70 x 15 mm, making it suitable for achieving a refined edge.

Shapton ceramic whetstones generally require minimal to no soaking. Refer to the specific product documentation for exact usage instructions, but they are often designed for splash-and-go use.
The #2000 grit is ideal for medium grinding and achieving a fine finish. It refines the edge after using coarser stones and prepares it for polishing or honing to a razor sharpness.
After use, rinse the stone with water to remove any metal filings or slurry. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
While it can perform medium grinding, it is best used after a coarser grit stone (like #120, #220, or #320) for initial shaping or repair of very dull or damaged edges.
The dimensions are 210 mm in length, 70 mm in width, and 15 mm in thickness.
Yes, this #2000 grit stone is suitable for sharpening most types of knives, as well as other edged tools like chisels and plane blades. It's part of a sharpening progression.
This whetstone is manufactured in Japan.
Clean the surface thoroughly with water. If the glazing persists, use a flattening stone or lapping plate to refresh the cutting surface.
Ensure the stone is clean. If the issue persists, the stone may require flattening. Check for any burrs or damage on the tool being sharpened that might be transferring to the stone.
Ensure the surface you are sharpening on is flat and stable. Use a damp cloth or a dedicated stone holder to prevent movement.
Setup: This whetstone is typically ready for use immediately. Unlike traditional water stones, Shapton ceramic whetstones often require minimal soaking, if any. Consult the product's specific instructions for optimal use (e.g., whether to use with water or oil, though ceramic stones are commonly water stones). Ensure the stone is placed on a stable, non-slip surface during use.
Compatibility: This #2000 grit stone is compatible with a wide range of steel types commonly found in knives, chisels, planes, and other edged tools. It is best used in conjunction with other grit stones in a sharpening progression, from coarser to finer grits.
Care: After each use, rinse the stone with clean water to remove metal particles and slurry. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store the stone in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. If the surface becomes uneven or glazed, it may need to be flattened using a flattening stone or lapping plate.
