    Question Shapton water stones come with ?

    I see the Nortons are advertised as coming with a plastic storage case etc...

    What do Shaptons come with ?

    Is it nessesary to have a holder for them ?

    Id love to see some member setups for honing and sharpening like how you have things set when you are going to hone/sharpen ...

    Thanks all ....

    Mine cam in a plastic storage container with 4 little rubber "feet". I've seen them being offered in cling foil.

    And mine came in a black cardboard box, this is the American version, bought in June.

    I don't use a stoneholder for my hones, but I'm sure its nice to have one.

    Mine came from Craftsman Studio (Good People) in cardboard and that is what I store them in.
    The stone is only 3/8" thick so you will probably need something to elevate it off your work surface.
    I have the Shaption holder. At 2 1/4" tall it gives you plenty of finger room. It is made of glass and rubber and surprisingly heavy and very stable. The holder was pricey but I am glad I have it.
