## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the #120 compare to a dmt xxcoarse? i need something for resetting bevels on chisels and plane irons that's faster than my current xcoarse.**
A: I have both.  It cuts slower at first. Until you break it in.  You'll see after a while that the scratch pattern from the shapton are much courser than the dmt

**Q: When it will be available again The 120 grit ?**
A: You need to ask either the manufacturer or the distributor this question.  I doubt anyone at Amazon knows the answer.

**Q: Is the Shapton 120 traditional ceramic? Is it the Pro?**
A: yes, both are ceramic stones

**Q: Is this the Japan model or the US export model?**
A: Good question. I paid $65.00. Saw some similar for $38.00, after I ordered the $65.00 one. Can't tell if there is a difference.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent medium-fine water stone, this and one or two strops are all you need for a good edge.
*by S***S on 16 April 2024*

As others have observed, the grading of 1000 is probably a little high, it might be more like 800, it's definitely a medium stone rather than a fine one. Whilst you can use it to reprofile an edge, it will take a while, this stone excels at repairing and maintaing an already profiled knife.It's a very high quality stone, its consitency is uniform, there are no grit lumps (giving rise to pimples) and the wear in consistent over the whole surface. It is of one grade throughout, both sides cut the same.It's easy to use, do fully read the enclosed instructions though since some online videos are incorrect, it's not just a "splash and go" stone, it's porous throughout and requires an initial soaking period especially if it has been left to dry out. You also need to regularly splash as you sharpen to both lubricate and remove slurry. It's not as convenient as a dry diamond stone but it's a fraction of the price. In practice using it with a small towel around it is fine, once it has been soaked you only need a teaspoon of water every so often to keep the surface lubricated and clean.The case is nicely designed as well, it is sturdy and clicks closed positively so that even if you do the unspeakable and drop the stone in the closed box it should still be protected from fracture. There are four non-slip rubber button feet on the underside and a four-sided fence on the lid which retains the stone perfectly whilst allowing water and slurry to drain from the gaps in each corner. This means you don't need to buy or make a custom stone holder, the case does a perfectly adequate job for most people.The whetstone has a very nice smooth grind feel when sharpening, you can easily gauge from the drag how much metal you are removing, the tactile feedback from the stone is excellent.Unlike diamond stones this stone will wear and depending on your usage and technique/proficiency you will need to periodically flatten it which requires investing in a separate flattening stone, but it's well worth it and if you use and maintain this whetstone properly it will give you many years of faultless service and hundreds of sharp knives.Whilst you can buy a finer grade stone to finish on, you don't have to. The orange Kuromaku is a good enough compromise that you can use it to both shapen and finish needing only one or two leather strops with diamond paste to raise a knife to a razor edge (dependent on the knife of course).Overall this is an excellent quality stone, I'm very pleased with it and I also believe that it represents excellent value for money since you can just about get away with just the one expensive whetstone plus one flattening stone and a few rawhide strops. (You can do major reprofiling using those cheap diamond stones first.)As a novice I watched many online tutorials before purchase and I went with the consensus of opinion that this was an excellent value one-stone sharpening solution and after using it successfully (I sharpen all my friend's knives for practice) I concur with them all. If I buy an additional whetstone it will be probably be another Shapton.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great if you really need something this coarse
*by E***N on 22 September 2025*

It's quite coarse and removes steel very well. If you are certain that this grit is right for your needs, it makes an excellent addition to your sharpening collection. It's really for damaged edges. For blade thinning and overly dull edges, the 320 grit is probably more versatile. You don't really need both, but if you find yourself repairing a lot of knives, this 220 is an efficient place to start.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great coarse stone
*by R***Y on 15 June 2025*

Works well. Takes down metal quickly and effortlessly, ready for the next stage. Definitely a must if you need to reprofile, thin, or correct chips etc. Or just to get a fast edge on an especially blunt knife.For a rough grit, this doesn't seem very soft, which I like. This stone should last a long time. I had an old 220G wet stone, it needed flattening after every use, didn't last long at all. Not the case here.My two cents on sharpening grits; I feel like new sharpeners are scared of coarse grits because they don't want to damage anything, so they tend to start at too fine a grit. It's important to remember the amount of material you remove to get from blunt to sharp is the same regardless of grit. The difference is how many strokes it takes you.It's not a small difference either, if you start with a blunt knife (butter knife) with a 220, 400, 1000, 3000. You could get a mirror polished, hair popping edge in about fifteen minutes, if you started with 1000 or 3000 you could genuinely be there for hours and not achieve what you want. And you would have used up a lot of expensive stone.You can get a shaving sharp edge with (skill) this stone and a strop. The finer grits get you a nice polished egde. Although I think it's generally accepted that 1000G is ideal for dressing a "not too blunt" knife.
