The Shapton Sharpening Pond is a 3.4kg water containment tray designed for mess-free sharpening sessions. Holds the Shapton Stone Holder securely, contains all the water and swarf from sharpening and makes clean-up simple — ideal for anyone without a dedicated sharpening sink. 3.4kg weighted base — holds the Shapton Stone Holder securely in place Contains all water and swarf from sharpening sessions Eliminates mess and makes clean-up easy Heavy-duty rubber casing for durability and grip Designed for use with the Shapton Stone Holder and Shapton Glass Stones Made in: Japan Description Sharpening with water stones is a satisfying process — but managing the water and swarf (the fine metal and abrasive residue produced during sharpening) can be messy without a dedicated setup. The Shapton Sharpening Pond solves this by providing a self-contained water tray that holds the Shapton Stone Holder securely and catches everything produced during the session. The 3.4kg rubber-cased base stays in place without sliding, the two layers of tempered glass sides contain the water cleanly, and the collected swarf can be used with a microfibre cloth to help polish the blade after sharpening. How to Use: Place the Shapton Stone Holder inside the Pond. Fill with enough water to wet the stone. Sharpen as normal — the Pond contains all water and swarf. Rinse the Pond after use.
