Featuring a precise 2000 grit (4-5 micron) abrasive blend with conditioning beeswax and lanolin, it removes burrs and polishes edges to a mirror finish without damaging leather. Suitable for knives, razors, woodworking tools, and even jewelry, this 100g resealable tin delivers up to 100 applications, making it an essential finishing step for professionals and enthusiasts seeking superior control and lasting sharpness. ## Description The polishing paste for knives with a gradation of 2000 allows you to make the final grinding in the process of sharpening knives or razors. It is a permanent element used when polishing with a leather strop. Using honing compound creases the polishing effect and gives the blades a mirror-like smoothness and high gloss. This paste removes all scratches and burrs caused by sharpening. Regular use of the paste also prevents discoloration and rust. The product is intended for use on leather strops. The paste is so soft that it is easy to apply to the leather surface. Another advantage is the fact that it is non-greasy and leaves no traces on the polished surface. The mirror effect can be achieved with a small amount of paste. Polishing pastes can be applied on one or both sides of the leather. The choice which paste apply depends on your individual preferences. It is best to try different options, in order to find out which one fits your needs! Usually, 1-2g per 100cm2 is enough. Thanks to a soft formula you do not need to heat anything, but you can use a hairdryer for better penetration if you like. Our honing compound works great if used on leather, cotton, felt, sisal or canvas. Great for manual polishing jewellery with a cloth or included leather pad. You can achieve high gloss finish not only on stainless steel straight razor or knife but also on high carbon steel, aluminium, copper, bronze, brass and gold or silver. ## Features - SOFT PASTE, NO HEATING - This red 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. - MEDIUM 2000 GRIT AT 4-5 MICRON - The opening pass: it strips the burr a coarse stone leaves behind and evens out the micro-saw along the cutting edge before you move to a finer grit. 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 cotton just as happily, including buffing wheels and polishing discs run in a drill or on a bench grinder. Beyond stainless blades you can bring high carbon steel, aluminium, copper, bronze, brass, gold and silver up to a high gloss, which makes it handy for polishing jewellery by hand with a cloth or with the round applicator disc supplied in the pack. Apply sparingly - a smear is plenty - and let the wheel or the hide do the work rather than pressing hard, because pressure rounds a bevel instead of refining it. - IN THE TIN, AND ONE HONEST LIMIT - You get 100 g of soft red leather strop paste in a resealable aluminium tin, plus a round leather applicator disc branded Bacher, and it is made in Poland in the EU. The other three grits sell separately, and the 4 x 7 g test kit with a 5 ml strop balm is the easy first buy for a beginner or a gift for someone starting out. The limit worth stating plainly: this sharpening compound is a finishing product for a blade that is already sharp. It takes off the burr, refines the scratch pattern and polishes to a shine, but it will not remove chips or revive a blunt knife - a sharpening stone has to come first. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B085F1ZWR3 | | Best Sellers Rank | 52,086 in Pet Supplies (See Top 100 in Pet Supplies) 683 in Tack | | Brand | Bacher | | Compatible Material | Alloy Steel, Aluminium, Leather, Stainless Steel | | Country Of Origin | Poland | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (72) 4.3 out of 5 stars | | Grit Material Type | corundum, chromium oxide, polishing white, silicon carbide | | Grit Number | 2000 | | Grit Type | Medium (4-5 micron) | | Item Dimensions | 7.9 x 7.9 x 2.3 centimetres | | Manufacturer | Bacher | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5907713351168 | | Material | Paste with beeswax and lanolin | | Model Number | 5907713351168 | | Number Of Items | 2 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Set Name | Bacher Honing Compound Set | | Unit Count | 100.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bacher - **Grit material:** Aluminium Oxide - **Grit type:** Medium - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.9 x 7.9 x 2.3 centimetres - **Material:** Compound with beeswax and lanoline ## Images ![Bacher Red Stropping Compound 2000 - Leather Strop Honing Paste - 100 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LLX-aFkvL.jpg) ![Bacher Red Stropping Compound 2000 - Leather Strop Honing Paste - 100 g - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kn5YnT3xL.jpg) ![Bacher Red Stropping Compound 2000 - Leather Strop Honing Paste - 100 g - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718VyykGJsL.jpg) ![Bacher Red Stropping Compound 2000 - Leather Strop Honing Paste - 100 g - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+oUkO7jdL.jpg) ![Bacher Red Stropping Compound 2000 - Leather Strop Honing Paste - 100 g - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qd0Y4T3JL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consistently excellent *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 October 2024* I have been using this honing compound for over 12 months and it has been consistently excellent.
