This is an fine aluminum oxide powder that is used to produce the final extremely sharp polished edge. Unlike most honing compounds that come in a waxy stick form, this power is just sprinkled on the strop. The powder was designed to work specifically with the synthetic strop but can work on leather stops as well. The 1 ounce container contains enough compound for many sharpening sessions because a very small amount is used.
Available in .5 micron grit.
