TEMO 3 pc 5 Gram Diamond Lapping Paste Polishing Compound Syringes Finishing Set 0.5, 1.0, 3.5 Micron (Grit 30,000, Grit 15,000, Grit 6,000) for Jewelry, Metal, Ring, Gemstone, Glass, Coin

Got the three pack and put the 3.5 micron on one strop and the 1 micron on the other. Just make sure to let it cure to the leather overnight and holds on well. I’m running these on a work sharp ken onion and they seem to work great. Puts a nice shine on the edge and shaves like butter. For the price I have 0 complaints. Also comes with a lot, can’t imagine needing anything else for a while.

Effective stuff. I take my blades up to 3000 with ceramics then to these pastes. I apply the 3.5 and 1 micron to kangaroo strops then the half to some bulsa wood. I’ve done 2 dozen knives with this stuff now and I believe this is worth the money. It does work well. I’m sure there’s better out there but this was my first time playing with pastes. I usually use tapes clear to .1 micron. But they tear so easily and it gets costly replacing them so frequently. So loading a strop was my attempt at avoiding tapes. I’m very happy with the end result of these pastes and look forward to other product offerings. So as entry level stropping goes, I believe this paste does its job well. Only gripe, the syringes allow paste to get out around the plunger and waste a bit.

Very satisfied! I love cheap stuff that works!First time using diamond paste to finish off my knives. Spreading a small amount onto basswood strops, I was able to get a mirror polish on an S30V steel blade in short order (~20min), and on an even harder M390 blade in about double that time. Progressing from the 3.5 to 1.0 to .5 micron, both knives came out with a flawless polish & hair whittling sharp.I'm guessing that if there are "better", more expensive diamond pastses out there, it's probably becuase they'll get you results more efficiently, but at the rate these get the job done... probably not by much. Otherwise, the other stuff may just be overpriced.Highly recommend. Will buy again when I run out... tho one order should last you a really really long time.

Paste is a little on the gummy side

So I got these in and I made three leather strops, one for each of them now on the finest I used the smooth side of the leather. I have sharpened two knives with this and they have had much better quality sharpening than my 10,000 grit Japanese whetstone. I also used diamond plates from 80 grit all the way up to 2000 and then the 3.5 micron through .5 micron straps and it is butter smooth when cutting paper.

After checking with a 120x zoom microscope, I saw zero, literally ZERO diamonds in the compound. The paste itself is pretty bad and remains gooey making stropping a mess, but that would be forgivable if the strop actually had advertised abrasives. I'd even go so far as to call this a scam.

They could work better

Use this to remove rust on some of my old scout knives I collect.
