GUNNY JUICE BEST STROPPING COMPOUND EVER ????

[@DrBlazer50]

I'm glad you talked about over-stropping. I used to have that problem often because I would get obsessed with making the edge too polished. It would look amazing and was extremely narrow, sharp edges but it would be so smooth that I couldn't get it to have enough bite to slice into paper. That was awhile back. Luckily I've moved on from polished edges to a much more jagged edge with a heavy amount of bite because 95%+ of my actual usage is slicing through tape to open boxes. Sometimes I also was a little too high and would get in the zone stropping and just continue stropping in one direction for 5 minutes 🤦🏼‍♂️. 🤣😂

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah I think many of us have been there 😆

Oh man.. yeah. You just zone out and start thinking about boobs or beef jerky and lemonade and before you know it you’ve rounded the crap out of your edge and have to go back to the stones. Good times.

Your right about stropping is not for knives but is for razors. Gunny Juice is overpriced by 1000%. It should cost $2.00. I don't know why anyone would use it. Who is selling us on this product?

[@michaell397]

@@brianhoffman5367 Nothing could be further from the truth. Even normal alu. oxide compound cost more than you suggest and they don't give away highly graded diamonds. Much less monocrystalline diamonds. Just because they are man made makes no difference other than much higher ability to get a very narrow grit range in the emulsion you want. Of course, there are lower cost although lower quality products available for those such as yourself who really don't know or care what the differences are. If only sharpening lower Hrc steels, or more importantly, lower carbide content steels, you can get by with a simple alu. oxide compound. However, if sharpening such steels as the higher vanadium carbide steels, you are going to want a high quality, well graded in size diamond emulsion. I KnifeMaker

@@brianhoffman5367 You are right but 1 micron isnt 1 micron. All these guy fluff their numbers, because thats not how diamond powder works. Diamond powder comes in a distribution. That 1 micron he sold you is probably a mix of everything from 0 up to 2 microns, with the average size being around 1 micron. If he was honest he would say this is a 0 to 2 um distribution. Or this is a 1 um to 3 um. etc. Also most edc bros ain't so bright so they use much finer abrasives than actually makes sense for anything. Something like 3 um on a wood substrate leaves a finer scratch pattern than even

​@@jeffhicks8428 as far as stones being not correct to grit it highly depends on the brand of stones. Every Naniwa stone out there is really really close if not exact, where Shapton all runn 400 to 600 off, but it doesn't really matter not one bit at all just like whatever gunny calls his different microns of emulsion's. What matters is the stones run in numbers being coarse to fine that show a result and progression as you go through them, same with diamond emulsion's and they all show a result for people that they are happy with. More so us who use good German madestraight razors to shave with who actually know what a seriouse edge is which is only achievable to that level with a hollow ground straight razor unless you have an old Solingen Hollow Ground blade pattern fixed blade knife. So i don't think its right to say he is not "honest" with emulsion's when no one gives a shit sbout that. As long as they see its different grades and the progression makes a result is literally the idea and the name of the game for people. I dont use it because im a machinist who polishes as well so i know what works, but people who do use it seem to be satisfied with his product

​​ im starting to think you are severely butt hurt at the guy who makes the stuff weather it out sells something you attempted to make or whatever. Regardless of what you think its not "1000 times" more than any product available is if we are going to start saying things like "lies." The price of his product is actually cheaper than DMT, Jende, and a lot of diamond emulsion's as you get more than those brands at the same price. People also seem to be happy with it. I think its funny you and this other guy who commented going on about this, saying how "people ain't to bright"(that phrase alone didnt give his intelligence much credibility along with his misspelling in it" but you both clearly are not machinist, who probably have no knowledge of lapping and polishing od different types of metal regardless of how hard that metal is. Regardless of what micron you call something or what grit you call it that means absolutely nothing at the task your doing. Going from coarser to finer and showing a progression from doing so is all that is relevant and as long as you are progressing without taking to big of a jump you are going to see a result which is what matters. Its no different than sanding with sand paper, or if I an in my shop hand lapping someones rifle barrel to take machining marks out from when it was rifled

[@MrMZaccone]

Thank you for saying it. "Over-polishing really isn't a thing but over-stropping is." Finally! Someone who understands. Although, I'm not sure I agree about the "teeth" you're talking about. I've polished edges down to .1µm using diamond lapping film and had zero problems with them becoming "slick" or not "biting". All that happens is that they get better and better at push cutting and maybe less aggressive when "slicing". To me, this is just a difference in application. Axes and saws both cut wood, they just do it in different ways. It doesn't mean that every tooth on a saw shouldn't be sharp AF.

This is basically a filtered leftover waste from diamond carbide tool factories. One man's trash is one man's gold. When I lap my fine stones in 1200 grit SIC powder, after it is really broken down, I lay my strops in the left over "juice" and create a very useful polishing strop.

get a 6 which is going to be great for maintenance as well as coming off the stone, 3 then 1. because the 1200 stone is 3 micron so the 6 wont scratch it it will only help in the future get a 12 micron for toothy edges you can get by with the 6 or 3
