Product description

• SOFT PASTE, NO HEATING - This green honing compound is a genuinely soft paste, not a hard bar you have to warm up or grind into the hide. Load a paddle, hanging or barber strop with light, fast strokes until the surface takes on colour, then draw the blade to spread the strop paste into a thin, even film.
• About 1-2 g covers 100 cm2, so one 100 g tin gives roughly 50-100 loadings. No hairdryer is needed, although warming the hide briefly does help penetration if you want it.
• The aluminium tin closes with a screw lid, so whatever you do not use will not dry out or crumble between sharpening sessions. FEEDS THE LEATHER AS IT WORKS - Beeswax and real lanolin are blended into the formula, so every loading conditions the hide instead of drying it out.
• This is a leather safe formula: dry sticks and wax bars clog the pores and leave the surface hard and brittle, while ours keeps the hide naturally supple and slightly tacky. That tack increases drag on the blade, which gives you noticeably more control over the angle and a cleaner result.
• A flexible surface grips the bevel properly, so you feel it seat itself instead of skating over glazed, hardened hide. Your strop is the expensive part of the setup, and this looks after it. VERY
• FINE 8000 GRIT AT 0.9-1.1 MICRON - The classic green chromium oxide compound and the grit most people finish on for kitchen knives and straight razors, used straight after a 3000 to 6000 stone. Bacher runs four grits - red 2000 at 4-5 micron, white 5000 at 2-2.5 micron, green 8000 at 0.9-1.1 micron and black 12000 at 0.4-0.6 micron for a mirror.
• Every batch goes through our own micron sieve process, which is why the abrasive content is high and the particle tolerance is unusually tight - one predictable grit, not a scattering of stray coarse grains that puts marks straight back into the bevel.
• Suits kitchen and hunting knives, straight razors, chisels, gouges and carving tools. NOT ONLY FOR LEATHER - It charges felt, wool, sisal, canvas, linen and
