Trend Ultra Fine Mirror Paste for Honing and Polishing Your Sharpened Knives & Tools, DWS/MP/40

I have been using this product for some time now and wouldn't be without it. I gave some to a friend and likewise feels the same it takes honing to another level.Regards John Hayes.

My jar cane with the paste almost solidified.I contacted Trend and they recommended I add a few drops of mineral oil. It worked great and the oil also helps to nourish the leather strop. It seems to adhere better to leather that's been conditioned. On dry leather, the paste becomes a fine powder that rubs away.With just 1 application, I can strop till the strop becomes black and shiny from being loaded up with metal particles. Using a simple pencil eraser, the shiny surface becomes matte again (but still dark grey) and I can continue to strop without adding more paste.Very aggressive and easily beats (by several orders or magnitude) green chromium oxide in speed, edge refinement and polish.Gentle stropping that takes forever? Not anymore, girlfriend. I strop hard and my knives' edges are sharper than they've ever been. And that's straight from a 2$ (yes, 2 dollars) 400-ish grit soaking stone.Definitely the best stropping compound I've ever used.

Good product, as description. Quite economical despite its cost.

I tried this product as an alternative to the usual big green block of polishing compound and its working well for me. It is only a small tub (30g), however you only use a thin smear over the stropping block and rub it in so the tub will last a fair while. I've used it on mostly kitchen knives for final polish and edge strop and have no issues with it in use. It certainly polishes the edge very well and gives a good finish, worth a go if you find loading the strop with standard compound a pain in the basckside.

Arrived on time & did as discribed

Does what's described and advertised however it needs to be applied to the strop EVERY single time as it dries out to a powder on the strop. The best option would be to buy a 4-6 micron diamond paste or solution that doesn't dry out within a few hours. Also claims that once the strop is loaded after several uses will last is false, all it means is that you've got a chalky residue drying your strop out. I wouldn't buy again.

Not exactly as advertised, should be 40gm but only received 30gm, 3/4 of the size and no reduction in price. So the rating is how I feel is fair.

Just recieved order for my 40g mirror polish and the packaging states its 30g. Bit gutted as it's already pricey but to be given 3/4 of what I paid for isn't very good.
