Abrasive paste designed for use on leather sharpening belts (strops) , used in the final stages of the sharpening process to refine and polish the edge of cutting tools .
Black paste is used in the intermediate stage of the finishing process, allowing you to prepare the wire before final polishing. Red paste is intended for fine finishing , providing a more refined polish of the cutting edge.
When applied to the strop leather, these pastes help remove micro-burrs and improve edge quality , resulting in a cleaner and more precise cutting edge.
They are suitable for chisels, gouges, marking knives and other woodworking tools , and are used after sharpening on a stone.
