With approx. 12 carats per oz, this is the most abrasive heavy diamond compound we have found, yet still creates fine polished edges thanks the presence of chromium oxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compound quickly deburrs and polishes excessively wear resistant steel ground with a coarse or finer finish. It doesn't over polish coarse finishes and is also capable of deburring finer finishes without rounding or leaving a ‘washed out’ cutting feel. It is not suitable for creating very fine finishes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cork strop is our shop favorite for deburring in tandem with a paste compound. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen used with paste compounds, let the compound fully dry before stropping. A small amount should be spread thinly over the strop and cover most of the strop face; re-apply a smaller amount over spent abrasive, a little goes a long way!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abraham Kalichman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40921142526104,"sku":"MONO-PRE-STRP","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0455\/3339\/7144\/files\/DSC01348_0fd89b28-349a-41da-90b3-36842c7844a4.jpg?v=1739231154"},{"product_id":"bs04-miwotsukushi-hime-iyo-meito-koume-shiro-hard-sizzly-bright-nat-stone-tennen-toishi-ehime-732-grams","title":"#BS04 Miwotsukushi Hime Iyo Meito 'Koume Shiro' Hard Sizzly Bright Nat Stone Tennen Toishi Ehime 732 Grams","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nearly pure white Shiro stone with scattered small Koume plum branch marks.
