Shapton Kuromaku Maintenance Bundle

$173.00 AUD $165.00 AUD

If you asked: "Give me a stone that isn't too soft, isn't too hard, has great feedback, is splash and go, and has its own base but won't cost me an arm and a leg,", we're reaching for the Shapton Kuromaku every time. 

Somewhat reminiscent of the Chosera (albeit with a slightly thinner stone), the Kuromaku are a splash and go dream. Softer than the Glass HR, harder than Suehiro Cerax, they represent excellent value. 

Grit: #1000 & #5000 (The ideal 2-step progression)
