Gritomatic on Blade Show 2018
At last, we have received the final production sample of Hapstone R1. We are ready to show it!
Hapstone R1 completes the full product line of knife sharpeners:
- Hapstone M2 in the economy segment
- Hapstone V7 in the middle
- Hapstone R1 in the high-end segment
It was the tough time for Hapstone as R1 and M2 were in development simultaneously. R1 was almost ready in 2017 but was completely redesigned.
We will show all three knife sharpeners on upcoming BladeShow 2018 in Atlanta.
Upcoming products
Gritomatic will add many new KME stones in March. A little preview of first three:
- Transition Coticule - purplish blend layer between Yellow Coticule and BBW with unique properties (like a higher performance than Coticule and BBW.) [Photo shows BBW - Transition Coticule - Yellow Coticule for comparison]
- Alumina-Zirconia Ceramic (limited edition) - the cut of a LapMaster ceramic disk for lapping microprocessor integral chips. Alumina-Zirconia outperforms Alumina in abrasion resistance.
- Soft Washita from Dan's Whetstone - coarser version of Soft Arkansas.
