Honing Compound PA70 for Use with Tormek Sharpening Grinders T-7, T-4, and T-3, and also other leather strops. Creates Razor Sharp Edges on Knives and Tools. (Fivе Расk)

Used it to sharpen/polish my Norelco electric razor head. Sixty seconds and the two year old blades were performing just about like new ones. The new head now costs an amazing $60, the cheap $12 Chinese imitations work pretty good for the first week, and they start plucking instead of trimming. This tube of honing compound is about a lifetime supply for most guys. A little dab pushed up from the underside of each blade set, using a Q-tip to push it up so that it is on top the blades, run the razor for 1 minute, wash thoroughly and enjoy the feel of a new blade.

This actually surpassed my expectations. I use it in a bench top leather strop . I liked it so well I pretty much and honed or polished every blade in the house. If it starts to cake up and gets messy, just scrape it off and add a little more and spread it out. It seemed to work better the more I used it. I will definitely buy again and will likely buy some for gifts to give to my knife sharpening loving friends and family. I did notice the price seems to fluctuate up or down a dollar or so from time to time. But either way, it seems worth the price asked so far. I have not used it on a wheel though. I may have to find one or make one to use it with. I was worried it might have a strong odor like some metal polishes have but this has a very light scent that seems to not linger once it dries. Not sure how it compares to the other honing or polishing compounds out there as I am somewhat new to this.

Applied a small amount to CLEAN smooth leather strop, let it dry, applied a little more. Worked great! Used on some serious steels too, including elmax, zdp189, and 3V. Its been easier to apply lately, as i now apply a DAB of mineral oil first and really rub it in. Leaves a nive clean edge, and well polished bevel/micro bevel. Ill buy more, defintely.

Its exactly what I was looking for. I'm a knife collector and use everything I purchase. I use this and a heavy piece of canvas to hone all the edges back to factory original or better before they go back to the wall. I recently picked up a spyerco byrd from amazon, and as anyone who has owned one knows that spyderco's are some of the factory sharpest you can find commercially. I have used this knife as my EDC for a few months now and am moving to the next prize. The edge wasn't in bad shape, but after a few passes with this honing compound, the edge has mirror like appearance. This stuff will take a sharp knife and make it surgical. Good stuff.

I bought this to use in conjunction with a 400/1000 Japanese water stone; to sharpen hunting and pocket knives. I have been very pleased with the results that I get. I just use it to strop with a small amount on a sturdy piece of leather (about 6" X 6"). This stuff will take a completely re-profiled blade to a nice fine polish and scary sharp in just about 10 minutes. It is supposed to be 6000 grit, and it does put a fine edge on a blade. I never really realized how to get to scary sharp, and with this compound it is fast and easy.I highly recommend this product, but I can say I've ever used it for it's intended purpose

I have several drill-mounted leather strop wheels and also a leather strop belt mounted onto a converted 1-inch belt sander. This paste works but not as well as other compounds that I already own. IMO, this paste isn't really meant for lower speed stropping applications as it's difficult to get a really polished finish on the blade. Not bad but once I use it up I'll go back to using the other compounds I own.This paste is most likely designed for optimal use with the Tormek system.

I use this for general, all-around stropping. If you only need to go to "shaving sharp" and not "surgical sharp" or "pathologically sharp" there is no need to buy any other compound...this will do the trick perfectly. One tube lasts me about a year to a year-and-a-half.

This stuff is amazing. Works into the leather on my strop easily. Used in combination with my 1000 and 3000 water stones it results in the sharpest edges I've ever made. Also works great for maintaining the edge after each use. Lasts quite a while in the leather. One thing though, it smells TERRIBLE. Just foul. Totally worth it, but don't use it at the kitchen table while people are around.
