 The Mastermind Behind the Blade
SHAPTON Ceramic Whetstone
SHAPTON's theme is "SHARPEN YOUR LIFE".
For home cooking, a sharp knife is essential for good food.
It is SHAPTON's desire to keep knives clean and sharp at all times.
This overlaps with
Life with Japanese beauty

 
 [Mastermind Behind the Blade, how it was sold.]
We are pleased to announce that SHAPTON's "The Mastermind Behind the Blade" whetstone is now available for sale at the specialized in handwork.
The Mastermind Behind the Blade" has four characteristics.
1.Sharpens quickly. Since the abrasive content is high, the grinding power is strong and the blade can be
  sharpened in a short time.
2.Quick to sharpen. It is not necessary to soak the blade in water before use.
  The blades can be sharpened immediately after being splashed with water.
3. Less helicoptering. The optimization of the binder has made it possible to maximize the capacity of
  the abrasive to produce a grinding stone with fewer helicopters.
4.Various types. Selecting the most suitable grindstone for the blade material and shape makes it
   possible to pursue the best finish and sharpening feel.

We advocate "Life with Japanese beauty".
The sale of whetstones is a part of this philosophy.
At present, the world is in a panic from the Wuhan virus that started at the end of last year. Our lives have been put to rest from "self-restraint" and the spread of the virus has been put to rest, but the economy is not viable. The second wave is spreading as our daily lives recover. Economic stagnation is unacceptable in a capitalist society.
Our social life, which has changed since the coronation, will never return to its former state.
However, there is still no way to know how things will settle down.
When the Great East Japan Earthquake struck nine years ago, I thought to myself, "How could such a disaster have happened?
And now, the Wuhan virus has paralyzed the economies of the world.
In retrospect, the plague epidemic that killed one third of the people in Western society, and the Spanish flu that started in 1916 also killed many people in Japan.
The history of the world is the same.

[Blades and whetstones]
1. You must enter the men's kitchen.
  
The family economy is based on one couple at its core.
  In today's society, dual income has become the norm.
  It's been a long time since we've been talking about a gender-equal society,
  but I don't think it's fair to say that only women should be cleaning, washing,
  cooking and raising children.
  It's not possible in this society.

  of tradition since the Tsugaru Clan gave the order to make swords.
  He is one of the leading swordsmiths in the world.

Daily use  □Return
The #1000 has a high abrasive power, but the blade is less deformed, so it is very suitable for making a foundation for sharpening the blade.
The #2000 has too much space in between, and the polishing marks of the #1000 cannot be repaired if it flies to the next finishing whetstone.
In that sense, we recommend that you get used to using #2000 in between.
As for the finishing whetstone, #5000 is sufficient for everyday use.
The #8000 is suitable for the sharpness of Japanese knives used by professionals.
