Thread: GlassStone - what does it mean?

Hello
I have seen this stones here from Shapton
http://www.shaptonstones.com/stones/glass.php
How are they? does someone have experience with them?
Seem to be very unifarmy good and so on
How is the 8000/16,000/30,000 ones especial ?
and how will you compare them against Norton 8000 and the yellow Belgian one?

Tank you

They are the same ceramic as the pro-series shaptons, but they only have a thin layer of ceramic on a glass base.

However, that thin layer is still enough for a lifetime of normal use.

And what does it mean? or what does it gives me as a sharpen stone?
and if it is so good, why people prefer the Norton and so on?
