Kagemitsu SKS Diamond paste, polishing paste for use on felt or stropping device (5 grams)
Kagemitsu SKS Diamond paste
High-quality polishing paste for kitchen knives, razors and other tools. Diamond paste is a paste with diamond powder in various coarseness, which gives a very nice polishing result when used on a stropping sling or strop on a wooden base. The paste can also be used very well to manually polish the surface of a blade to a mirror-smooth result.
Preferably the blade should be polished with at least a # 1000 water stone before polishing. The diamond paste is supplied in a syringe with approximately 5 grams of paste, the paste is oil-soluble.
How to use:
Pour small amount from the syringe onto the sling / lap / rag,
Then spread over the surface so that an even layer is formed everywhere.
Then the knife should be pushed under the right sharpening angle (10-15 degrees for Japanese kitchen knives) over the surface (with the cut, so never against it).
With one application of paste multiple knives can be finished,
With regular grinding / polishing on a sling with diamond paste it is easy to maintain cuts, which greatly reduces the need for grinding on water stones and you always have a sharp knife available.
