Designed for leather strops, it conditions the leather with beeswax and lanolin while delivering a mirror-like finish on knives, razors, chisels, and even jewelry. Easy to apply without heating, it offers 50-100 uses per tin, ensuring a consistent, burr-free edge and prolonged strop life. ## Description Knife polishing compound with 8000 gradation allows you to make the final polish in the process of sharpening knives or razors. It is a permanent element used when polishing with a leather strop. Thanks to its properties, it increases the polishing effect and gives the blades a mirror-like smoothness and high gloss, removing scratches and burrs caused by sharpening. Regular use of the paste also prevents discoloration and rust. This compound is especially designed for enthusiasts of knives and other shaving or cutting tools. The product is designed for use on leather strops. The compound is so soft that it is easy to apply to the leather surface. Another advantage is that it is non-greasy and does not leave any traces on the polished surface. The mirror effect can be achieved with a small amount of paste. Honing compound can be applied to one or both sides of the leather. The choice of which paste to apply depends on your individual preferences. It is best to try different options to find out which one suits your needs! Usually 1-2g per 100 cm2 is enough. Thanks to the soft formula, you do not need to heat anything, but you can use a hair dryer for better penetration if you like. Our polishing compound works well when used on leather, cotton, felt, sisal or canvas. Great for hand polishing jewelry with a cloth or the included leather applicator. You can achieve a high gloss finish not only on stainless steel razors or knives, but also on high carbon steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, brass and gold or silver. ## Features - SOFT PASTE, NO HEATING - Bacher spreads onto a leather strop in seconds with a few light strokes, because it is a genuinely soft paste and not a hard block that has to be warmed up or forced into the leather. Three steps and you are done: lay a thin film on with a spatula or with the applicator disc, then draw the blade along the loaded surface in both directions until the film looks even. An extra high content of abrasives works fast, and our in-house micron sieve process holds particle size to a narrow band from tin to tin, so you get a uniform cut instead of random deep scratches. One tin covers about 50 to 100 applications. A hairdryer is optional, never required. - CONDITIONS THE LEATHER - Beeswax and real lanolin are blended into the formula, so every pass feeds the leather instead of drying it out. This leather safe formula maintains the naturally supple surface of strops, paddles and razor strops that dry, hard abrasives leave stiff and glazed. It also increases drag on the blade, and that extra drag is what gives you control over the angle and a cleaner, more effective finishing stroke on every pull. A strop that stays flexible loads more evenly the next time, which is why the same piece of leather keeps working for years. - VERY FINE 8000 GRIT - This green grade is a chromium oxide compound working at 0.9 to 1.1 microns, and it is the finishing step that turns a working edge into a keen one on kitchen knives, hunting knives and straight razors, removing the last of the burr the stone leaves behind. In the Bacher scale of 2000, 5000, 8000 and 12000 it sits second from the top, so use it after 5000, and follow with 12000 only if you want a mirror. It finishes wood chisels and plane irons just as well. Green chromium oxide is the classic finishing compound for straight razors, and this is that green. - NOT JUST FOR LEATHER - Load it onto felt, wool, sisal, canvas, linen or cotton just as easily, including buffing wheels and polishing discs. Beyond stainless blades it brings a high gloss to high carbon steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, gold and silver, so it doubles as a hand polish for jewelry with a soft cloth or with the leather disc supplied. Apply it sparingly, because 1 to 2 g per 100 cm2 (about 15 sq in) is plenty, then work the blade until the film is thin and even. Buying your first tin: take 5000 or 8000 for kitchen and pocket knives, 2000 if the edge is still rough, 12000 for a shaving finish. - WHAT IS IN THE TIN - 3.53 oz (100 g) of soft compound in a resealable aluminum screw top tin, plus a round leather applicator disc with the Bacher logo, so you can load a strop straight away. The beeswax binder and the screw top are what keep the paste soft between sharpenings, so it does not set hard in the tin between uses. Made in Poland, EU. The other three grades are listed separately if you want the full progression. One honest note: this product finishes an edge that is already sharp, so it will not repair chips or revive a truly blunt blade, and it does not replace a sharpening stone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B085F2BVGJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #164,928 in Tools & Home Improvement (See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement) #277 in Sharpening Stones | | Brand Name | Bacher | | Compatible Material | Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Leather, Stainless Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (534) 4.5 out of 5 stars | | Grit Material Type | chromium oxide, corundum, silicon carbide | | Grit Number | 8000 | | Grit Type | Very Fine (0.9-1.1 micron) | | Included Components | leather applicator | | Item Dimensions | 3.1 x 3.1 x 0.9 inches | | Manufacturer | Bacher | | Material Type | Paste with beeswax and lanolin | | Model | Stropping Compound (Very Fine) | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | 5907713351175 | | Unit Count | 3.53 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bacher - **Grit Material:** chromium oxide, corundum, silicon carbide - **Grit Type:** Very Fine (0.9-1.1 micron) - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 3.1 x 3.1 x 0.9 inches - **Material:** Paste with beeswax and lanolin ## Images ![Bacher Stropping Compound - 3.53 oz - Green Very Fine 8000 Honing Paste | Beeswax & Lanolin Strop Care | Knives, Straight Razors, Chisels | Soft, No Heat | 0.9-1.1 Micron | 50-100 Coats | Applicator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sfmoebwbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff *by on Reviewed in the United States July 12, 2026* Great stuff ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Stuff *by on Reviewed in the United States February 28, 2026* Works great.
