Vergez-Blanchard Strop and Sharpening Compound Kit – 30 cm

Optimize the performance and extend the life of your cutting tools with our premium Vergez-Blanchard Strop and Sharpening Compound Kit. This kit includes a 30 cm high-quality strop and everything you need for precision sharpening.

Features:

Premium Leather Strop: Crafted from top-grain leather, our strop is specially engraved to enhance the adhesion of sharpening compounds. This unique design ensures efficient and even sharpening. The 2.5 mm thick leather is vegetable-tanned for durability and performance.

Dual-Sided Design: The strop features two distinct sides:

• A slightly textured "flesh" side for initial sharpening.
• A smooth, engraved "crust" side for fine finishing. This versatility allows you to adapt the sharpening process to your tools and preferences.

Luxor Sharpening Compound: Made in France, Luxor sharpening compounds are renowned for their quality and effectiveness. They restore a razor-sharp edge to your blades. Each kit includes:

• 10-micron green compound for coarse polishing.
• 1-micron white compound for fine polishing.

How to Use:

1. Prepare the Strop: Apply linseed oil to both sides of the leather.

2. Apply the Compounds:

   • Spread the green Luxor compound generously on the flesh side for rough sharpening.
   • Apply the white Luxor compound on the crust side for finishing.

3. Sharpening Process:

   • On the green side, stroke the blade for about 1 minute using steady, even movements. Ensure you maintain the correct cutting angle. Sharpen only the beveled edge (not the flat back of the blade).
   • On the white side, repeat the process. Finish by flattening the back of the blade to remove any remaining burr.

4. Clean the Blade: Wipe the blade with a clean cloth to remove any compound residue.

Usage Tips:

• For optimal sharpness, deburr your tools after each use.
• For heavily damaged tools, start with fine sharpening using a whetstone (reference: 3.845).

Maintenance:

• Clean the strop regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Store the sharpening compounds in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.

Conclusion:

The Vergez-Blanchard Strop and Sharpening Compound Kit is the essential accessory for anyone seeking perfection in sharpening. Give your blades the care they deserve with this high-quality kit.
