This pack from Wicked Edge pairs leather strops with two grades of polycrystalline diamond emulsion, giving you a refined finishing stage after your stones or lapping film. It suits anyone looking to push their edge from sharp to polished for cleaner cuts and better edge longevity.
Emulsion
Includes 7ml bottles of 1-Micron (blue) and 0.5-Micron (yellow) water-based polycrystalline diamond emulsion. These are finishing compounds meant to follow up after the 3000 Grit Diamond Stone or 3-Micron Diamond Lapping Film, refining the edge further than stones alone can achieve. Each application lasts through roughly 15 to 20 sharpening sessions before you need to reapply.
Strops
Leather strops carry the emulsion and are used to polish the edge with light, trailing strokes. Leather flexes slightly under pressure, which helps remove the last microscopic burrs left behind from coarser abrasives.
Use
Apply a small amount of emulsion to the leather strop and work through the grits from 1-Micron down to 0.5-Micron for a mirror-polished, refined edge. This step is optional but recommended for anyone chasing maximum sharpness and edge retention.
