Description

Diamond Compound is a very effective method of honing and polishing the cutting edge of the knife. Diamond is the hardest commercially available substance on Earth. Diamond Compound consists of synthetic diamond powder.

Diamond Compound can be used with any strop made of smooth or coarse leather, balsa or felt. Smooth leather is best strop material for Diamond Compound.

Diamond Compound does not require any preparations. However, you can experience difficulty to take the compound from the jar if your air temperature is below 20°C (68°F). In such case, you can slightly warm compound to make it molten. Take a small amount of compound and evenly distribute it to the surface of the strop.

You will not be able to fully remove the compound after applying it to the strop. If you want to use your strop both with and without compound, you must, therefore, keep one side clean. If you want to switch between one compound and another, consider buying an extra strop.

Compound residue accumulates in the leather during stropping. If stropping performance gets worse, remove the residue with a knife spine or special tool, and apply the fresh compound.

Very good stuff!!!

Gritomatic is great! They have stuff like this Venev paste that nobody else seems to stock and they ship fast!

Seems to work great so far. It comes in a 2.5" wide by 2" tall (50x65mm) plastic jar, filled a bit over half way (with the 10 micron size) which will likely vary depending on diamond size. It contains 50 grams of product, I am not sure how much of that is diamond. The product itself is a green wax or grease of some kind. It is fairly firm in the jar but once you start moving it around it becomes quite soft, maybe around a vaseline consistency or so which makes application very easy.

CHRISTOPHER GAHRING

Fantastic product at a fantastic price. High technology performance, high concentration of diamond powder.

A lifetime of mirror edges for a low price. I purchased the 14,7,3,1, and 0.5. They all work great on basswood strops (what i use) and if used properly you can get mirror edges very easily. These are wax based and you'll be waiting forever if you wait for them to dry. Apply to your strop and heat it up with a heat gun/hair dryer until the wax evaporates. I threw my wood strops in the oven at 350f for 10 mins and they came out perfectly dry.

Loses one star for being in a jar. This is good stuff, but putting it in a jar requires you to scoop with your finger. The lipstick tubes are much easier to use. This is the only diamond paste I've used, so no comparison to other diamond compounds. I've tried a dozen or so non-diamond compounds and this is by far the best out of that bunch.

Excellent paste and you get a LOOOOT for the money. This is enough paste to last you a lifetime basically because you use VERY VERY small amounts of this on the leather/wood (depending on how you like to strop). This is probably equivalent to about 2-3 of the typical little syringes you get from other brands. The only downside is that the color of the paste is the same between grits (at least my 1 and 3 micron are) so you’ll need to label your strop with a sharpie if you have multiple grits. It’s not a big deal though and a very easy fix with a shape that you should already have in your sharpening kit if you know what you’re doing and sharpening properly.

Vinewood

This diamond paste is not just for stropping! I purchased all grits from 60 micron down to .5 micron. Stropping is only one use for this product. I use it on buffing wheels and on felt polishing points in my Dremel tool. You can use it for lapping, scratch removal, and polishing of metal, glass, ceramic, stone, gemstones, jewelry, silver, etc.

New to the dark art of freehand sharpening & stropping. That said, for the price you get much more than expected at this price. Jar could of been half the size & I still would of thought it fair. Gritomatic had it delivered in two business days so, all around good experience so far.

Hello again. Your answer doesn't tell me what grit (JIS if possible) venev claims 2 or 3 micron compound to be.

Follow

⚙️Leading Edge • 5 months ago

Venev uses the GOST 9206-80 standard.

GOST 9206-80 (for diamonds) uses an intuitive naming system for grit values: it directly indicates the main grit range. There are also adjacent and threshold ranges.

One of the features of the GOST 9206-80 classification is its easy-to-remember approach for all three ranges: main, adjacent, and threshold. It is only necessary to remember the micron sequence 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 7 – 10 – 14 – 20 – 28 – 40 – 60 for microgrits. The adjacent pair of numbers will be the main range for the same grit value (for example, 3/2 has a main range of 3 to 2 µm). The adjacent range is one step down (1 to 3 µm). The threshold range is another step down and one step up (0 to 5 µm).

Knowing this fact, now have a look at the Grit chart in the link below:

https://www.gritomatic.com/pages/grit...

You'll see that the GOST 9206-80 rating of 3/2 equates APPROXIMATELY to a JIS R 6001 rating of between 4000 and 6000 grit. This, however is only an approximation because the grit ratings, their tolerances and adjacent value ranges are very different. In many cases, some "equivalent" grit powders outperform a JIS 6001 powder due to the difference ratings used.

JIS ratings have very different values and wider allowed tolerances than some other grit ratings, in some cases worse than other ratings and in some cases better, so it is near impossible to exactly compare grit ratings with a definitive answer.

Another important fact to remember is that compounds on strops are less aggressive than compounds in hard bonds. This gives the stopping compound a scratch pattern significantly smoother than an equal grit in a hard bond. … See full answer »

Venev Diamond Stropping Paste in Jar gritness

Hi, the Venev paste is marked with two numbers, e.g. 60/40, 20/14, etc. However, the order form on your site uses a single number only (e.g. 60, 40, 14, etc). Which number is it? In other words, if I need 7/5 and 3/2, what should I choose in the order form?

Hello ill try to help seeing as no one else has jumped in. I purchased every Venev industrial diamond compound in every rated grit from the selection on the site(Gritomatic) and yes I see what you mean that they do have double numbers once you get them. Going by what I ordered I go by the first number I.E. I purchased 60,40,20,14,10,etc...etc... all the way down and they were marked 60/40,40/20,20/14,14/10,etc.. etc.. So like I said I go by 60 XXcourse, 40 XXcourse, 20course,14medium,etc.. etc... So long story short go by the first number because that's how you'll pick what you want from the site and that's how they are labeled on the site from Course to ultra fine. Hope this helps. Also just my opinion but I would suggest you get 60and40 for your extra course and course as they are both Orange color. 20and14 both for your medium course and medium as both are Blue. 10and5 as both are dark green and then 2and1 for ultra fine polishing as both are light green. That should cover all your needs and as stated in reviews of Venev stropping compound, you get a lot! guitarguy2474@gmail.com if i can help further.
