Made from high-quality leather, this stropping wheel is designed for the final stage of knife sharpening. Use it after sharpening to remove the remaining burr, refine the edge, and produce a cleaner, sharper finish.
Compatible with most buffers and bench grinders, each wheel includes a Universal Arbor Adapter to fit 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" shafts. 5in TAS Leather Wheel has 1/2in center bore and is `/2in wide
⭐ Cliff's Notes
The final step for achieving the sharpest possible edge.
Always use edge trailing to prevent cutting or damaging the leather.
Works exceptionally well with both buffing compounds and diamond emulsions.
Apply compound sparingly—a little goes a long way.
Easy to true it up so that it runs smooth and takes diamond spray well for that great final polish. I’m running the 8” on a low speed 6” grinder matched with an 8” 600 grit scotch brite wheel which together solves my problem with handle clearance. Great products, fair price, fast shipping.
The products that you carry is that a good price customer service is really good and delivery as fast, considering getting it all the way from Hawaii to Virginia in less time than it takes something to get from Pennsylvania to Virginia. Go figure.
I've come to the realization that I totally suck at sharpening! But I'm motivated to learn and will keep grinding away. Thank you for all the great videos you put out
I like the leather 8" or 6" wheel versus the leather belt because it's somewhat more aggressive and can usually knock off the burr, or smooth out the apex with one or two passes, versus at least two passes, and sometimes 4 passes with the belt.
