Then I ordered mine from Amazon and unfortunately the stone I ordered never came, and to be honest, I have some Japanese Natural stones and some American Arkansas stones like Arkansas Black and Translucent can do the same job except they're not going to polish a blade as good as the shapton 30,000 grit which gives a blade an almost true mirror finish. **Q: Why is the 30000 grit so much more expensive than all of the others?** A: With synthetic stones, the finer the grit, the more expensive because 1) there is more material per volume and 2) they may take a little more "work" to produce. Since I do not know that manufacturing process #2 is a well educated guess. #1 is a fact. Hope this helps. **Q: Can these be used to sharpen katanas? If so, which grit is recommended? I know nothing about stones and sharpening blades. Thank u for ur time&help.** A: These could be used to sharpen katanas, but if you've never used wet stones before, you'll wanna practice on something like a knife to get started. Additionally, you'll likely need multiple stones depending on the condition of your blade and how sharp you want it to be. I use 7 stones just to sharpen one of my wooden chisels. I start with an 80 grit to remove major defects and work up to about 10000 grit. At the very end I finish sharpening with a jewelers rouge, which ultimately leaves the blade very sharp with a mirror polish. If you wanna see more detail, check Paul Sellers "How to sharpen a chisel" on YouTube. That should get you better tuned for what you're trying to accomplish. Cheers! **Q: What lapping plate should i use to flatten the waterstones purple #30000?** A: I just use an EZE-lap lapping plate. A broken in DMT 328 or just about any other diamond plate would work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shapton K0711 Blade, Murasaki 30000 Mirror Finish Grind - Shapton K0710 Melon 8000 Blade Finishing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/54279248-shapton-kuromaku-sharpening-stone-purple-30000-micro-fine](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/54279248-shapton-kuromaku-sharpening-stone-purple-30000-micro-fine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
