What can of knife you used to trim the leather?

[@jerryfernandes7942]

what is that green colour chalk called? & y is it used

[@TheFaithfulComposer]

Honing Compound or Jewelers Rouge.

[@TheFaithfulComposer]

It is used to sharpen blades/tools better than just using the leather by itself. Keep in mind that stropping is widely accepted as a final step in the sharpening process.

Who would have thought DeWalt would put decent steel in a chisel

Great Job...Thank you.

what could i use as stropping compound?

[@daddyfixesit-th3ls]

In my use of about 10 different products, I think green compound is clearly the best. It is a chromium oxide abrasive that both cuts and polishes hard and soft metals. Google "stropping compounds" and you will see a hundred choices and sources. I don't think that price is a clear indication of quality level, therefor cheap isn't necessarily not as good.

Carlo Pieracci it's also known as Jewelers rouge

In doing some research I came across this forum thread which I found very enlightening. Perhaps for a novice like me it’s too much knowledge on the subject but terrific info nonetheless. Daddyfixesit, what are your thoughts on the misinformation surrounding CrOx? straightrazorplace.com/honing/28088-consumer-alert-chromium-oxide-bars-not.html
