It’s not official yet, but we’re hoping the Shaptons will be available on the Wicked Edge site soon. Ken Schwartz and I are working together on this.
As to which is better – Shapton or Chosera, people know I am a die hard Shapton man. B) But there are plenty of die hard Chosera fans out there, too.
Basically, Shaptons and Choseras are the Lamborghini and Ferrari of sharpening stones, and choosing between them can be as personal as choosing Coke or Pepsi. I have and have used all the stones in both series on the WEPS, and I can honestly say that you can’t go wrong with either.
Here is a blog post[/url] I did a while back about this very topic. It doesn’t tell you which to choose, but it should help you in making a more informed decision.
I think a new thread may be in order to get both sides of the story – from people who love their Shaptons, and those other guys 👿 who love their Choseras…
