The Shapton M15 series of stones may develop a dish after frequent usage. To maintain the stones, it is recommended to use a lapping plate to keep the surface flat for long life. We suggest using either the Jende Industries Glass Lapping Plate, Shapton Diamond Glass Lapping Plate, or the Shapton NAORU cast iron lapping system for this process.

The M15 stone is a Splash & Go stone, eliminating the need for soaking. After finishing sharpening, clean the stone and allow it to air dry naturally in a shaded position. Rapid drying can cause cracking, and leaving the stone in water can degrade its quality.
