Bernal Cutlery Vanadium Carbide Precharged Abrasive Strop

Rubberized cork strop charged with vanadium carbide stropping compound for beginning the deburring process of excessively wear resistant steels or edges ground at extra coarse finishes. This works very well in tandem with Borachrome or Monodiachrome or for deburring edges ground to 100 grit. It is not suitable for deburring fine finishes.

Very aggressive Vanadium carbide abrasive blend from sub micron to several micron in a water based biodegradable paste that is ideal for deburring excessively wear resistant ‘super steels’. Vanadium carbide is a very durable, hard and angular abrasive with an aggressive cutting ability, it maintains its cutting ability on the strop for a very long time.

This cork strop is our shop favorite for deburring in tandem with a paste compound for stubborn steels. It successfully de-burrs and enhances the finished polish; finely honing the work of the fine synthetic or natural stones. It is a very dense composite, approximately 15 to 20x more dense than a regular cork pushpin board.

Since this strop is made from rubberized cork, it can be cleaned with soap and water to remove compound or other kitchen debris. Lifespan of charge will vary depending on volume and intensity of work (estimated 60-100 stropping sessions).
