Review on Leather Honing Wheel with Enhanced πŸ”ͺ Width Compound for Superior Abrasive and Finishing Results by David Gibbs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great impeller. Reliable, balanced and true. No regret!

You wouldn't think this would be hard to screw up, but I've had bad luck with leather honing wheels. This one is an exception. I've used it a bit, mostly with my own green compound over the included white. I had no skin peeling (that's 5 discs glued together). The wheel works correctly, which means the hole is well centered. This means that when you use the wheel, it won't hit or miss your knife/chisel/warp like an out-of-round wheel. Although easy to use, you can seriously injure yourself if you use it incorrectly. I stand sideways with the wheel nut facing me and use the top of the wheel to hone. Be careful again. One mistake turns what you're sharpening into a flying knife.

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Very Expensive
