The 500 grit Shapton Glass water stone offers enough flexibility for most users to do chip repairs as needed while doubling as a first stone in a normal sharpening progression. This versatility couples with Shapton Glass’ reputation for performance to warrant putting this stone on anyone’s shortlist for coarse grit water stones. The Shapton Glass line is designed to cut the most abrasion resistant steels on the market. The stones are hard for precise bevel setting and they cut quickly while wearing slowly all with the added convenience of requiring no soaking. Just spray the stone with water and get to work. The 500 grit Shapton Glass stone is 210mm x 70mm x 5mm and is mounted to a glass plate which adds 5mm to the thickness of the stone.

  500 grit glass stone
Posted By: Phil Laney - verified customer

This thing rocks! You can use a file on a lot of steels and this puppy will clean up the edge and remove just about all the burr. It will get sharp enough to shave some hair.

  The best coarse stone I've ever used.

The 500 grit Sharron glass cuts very efficiently but has a nice smooth feel and great feedback for a stone this hard. It made quick work of rehabbing my big old beater Wusthof line knife that has seen years of abuse. Wish I'd purchased this years ago.

  I like it
Posted By: Kendall Phillips

I have the 500 grit that's twice as thick and it has a smoother feel to it than this stone. I feel like this one cuts faster than my thicker one and absorbs the water more. It worked really nicely and quickly. Definitely recommend

  Excellent stone
Posted By: Mike - verified customer

I have only used this stone on 3 knives. Great first stone in a progression. As long as it doesn't wear prematurely, in my opinion, I will buy the double thick next time.

I love shapton stones. They sharpen the best I think and I have many sharpening tools. I have a total of 8 shaptons which may be more than needed, but I seem to use all of them depending on what I am sharpening.

  shapton 500

Shapton designed the 500 grit stone to be a bevel setting grit. The 500 being the coarsest stone you can flatten with the DGLP means its a must buy, for those of us who use the glass stones within the shapton glass system! This stone cuts fast as anything in its grit range, yet it remains flat for a long time. The 500 is one of Shapton Glass's premier pieces. The three stones this range is known for are the 500, 2000 and the 16k, no wonder they come in a set from shapton! However: I personally prefer the set up Mark suggests on his site, which is 500, 1k, 4k.... again you see the 500 grit stone in that progression. You NEED this stone if you are going to go shapton glass, its a must purchase! I would also like to point out that this stone is a very decent choice for a 500 grit hone even if your mixing and matching brands.

Great for bevel setting, as it leaves a very light and even scratch pattern. Cleans up heavier scratches from diamond plates with ease. Surprised at the level of polish from a course stone. Could easily pass up the 1k and jump straight to 2 or 3k. Great splash and go...

Excellent stone. Fast cutting and an advisable step between 220/320 and 1000 grits.

This is my second 1000 grit stone. Fast cutting and stays flat longer than traditional waterstones. I have most all of the shapton glass stones and they are my go to sharpening stones

For a while now, I have been using Japanese water stones to sharpen my chisels and plane irons. As they wear out, I'm switching to the Shapton stones. I really appreciate how quickly and cleanly they get the job done, without having to true it up (re-flatten) as often.

Great stone. Removes material very quickly. Great transition between a 220 and a 1000 grit stone. I really appreciate not having to soak the stone before using.

My first purchase for stones was the GlassStone set-500,1,4,8K. Of these stones, the most used were the 1K & the 500-the 500 is my go-to stone for metal removal,used together w/ the DMT XXC, I can take back any edge to a point to where it can be improved upon...

Cuts reasonably well, but there are other options out there I'd prefer. That said, none are this compact.
