Has anyone tried it for sharpening/stropping?

0.5 microns is incredibly small. I would save my money and use toothpaste, you can get a LOT more for £17.

But that's just me.

Hi tom tom
Its in polish curency not pounds sterling, its only about £3
your right it is small, probably for use in pathology to do microtome blade's'?. At that its same price as solvol autosol (what I generally use)

I know some people use it on kitchen knives on another forum. They strop on post it notes on a glass plate. I don't know what stones you have, but you have to have a 10.000 grit stone. If not the space between your last stone and your "strop" will be too big. It is diamond paste, which WILL CUT A LOT FASTER than chromium or aluminum oxide.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Michiel

I have some of that for my straight razor, for a final polish it's great and makes for a more comfortable shave - you really DON'T want a toothy edge on your razor

I tried it on my knives, but the advantage of that over flitz wasn't really noticeable

What is flitz I never have heard of that?

So it is, that'll teach me not to skim read these these things

Let us know what you think if you get some.

Flitz is a brand name for a type of metal polish. Very similar to Autosol Chrome Polish. looks a bit like toothpatse and comes in a toothpaste type tube too. You can get it from places like car spares shops, Halfords and even the Motoring Aisle in some of the larger Tescos and the like.
