Smooth 250 mm leather honing wheel + chromium oxide kit

Description

Finally – A complete kit to put the finishing touches on your gear!

The kit comes with a smooth 250 mm leather honing wheel and a chromium oxide kit.

The honing wheel has the smooth side of the leather facing out, which makes it particularly suitable for final polishing/clean up.

Both strengthen the edge and increase sharpness further.

The chromium oxide kit is mixed together into a paste and then applied to the leather honing wheel.

This kit includes:

Smooth 250 mm leather honing wheel – 1 pc
Pure chromium oxide 99.9% – 1 tube
Artist grade purified linseed oil – 1 vial
Diamond paste 0.25 micron – 1 jar
Mixing cup – 1 pc
Blender stick – 1 pc
Nitrile glove – 1 pc

We get better sharpness when a honing wheel has diameter close to the grinding wheel, as better matching the profile of the ground edge. Even if the grinding and honing angles are matched perfectly, a smaller honing wheel will not cover the full height of the bevels ground on the larger wheel – only parts of the bevel will be honed. This is not as obvious at higher edge angles like 15-20 dps, as at lower angles of 13-10 dps.
