Thread: Chosera vs Shapton Glass

If it isn’t your final finisher it will never matter. This single review is the only one that I’ve seen comparing them. You might shoot Mark Richmond at Chef’s Knives To Go an email, if anyone would know he probably would.

There’s always some risk trying to remove a glued stone from the base, I’d probably leave it as-is for a while.

Thanks for the advice! I reached out to Mark, he said to his knowledge they are the same. You can order the stone with or without the base, the base being the only difference. I returned the one with the base and ordered one without from CKTG.
