Description
REK Knives 3.5 micron diamond stropping compound refines edges after sharpening and helps remove the remaining burr. Each brick contains 100 carats (20 grams) of diamond abrasive for stropping, buffing and sharpening.
Developed by Josh of REK Knives, a full-time maker and designer refining his craft since 2015, this compound is made for people who care about maintaining their edges.
Why diamond? Diamond abrasive works with high-carbide blade steels, including S30V, S90V, M390, MagnaCut and Vanax, as well as simple carbon steels.
Why 3.5 micron? This abrasive size helps refine an edge after your stones, removing the burr and leaving a toothy-polished finish for routine cutting tasks.
How to use: Apply to a leather strop by hand, or charge a felt belt for powered work. Use a strop for regular touch-ups or a felt belt to deburr and refine edges. The compound can also be used on buffing wheels. Reapply as the abrasive's cutting performance diminishes.
What you get: One 1.2" x 1.2" x 0.5" brick of compound in a protective 3D-printed case that keeps it clean and easy to store in a sharpening kit.
