Rutlands® Japanese glass stones are often chosen over traditional water stones for their durability and consistent performance. Unlike water stones, which can wear down over time, glass stones maintain their flatness and shape for longer, providing a more stable surface for sharpening. The glass base ensures precision and minimizes the need for frequent flattening, making them ideal for woodworkers who require a consistent, long-lasting sharpening solution. Additionally, glass stones offer a smoother sharpening experience, reducing the time needed to achieve a sharp edge.
