Herold - Solingen Red/Black Solid Strop Paste

The Herold Solingen Red / Black Solid Strop Paste set includes two solid polishing compounds designed for honing and polishing a knife’s cutting edge. These compounds help remove micro-burrs left after sharpening and bring the blade to maximum sharpness.

The set contains two compounds with different abrasive levels. The red compound is used for preliminary edge refinement, while the black compound provides finer processing and final polishing. Using both compounds sequentially helps achieve a clean and even edge after sharpening.
