When it comes to achieving a razor-sharp edge on your knives or tools, the final step—stropping—can make all the difference. For those who demand the highest level of performance, the Max Concentration Poly Diamond Knife Stropping Emulsion offers an unbeatable edge in both efficiency and precision.
What sets this emulsion apart is its ultra-high concentration of polycrystalline diamond particles, engineered to deliver maximum stropping power. Unlike standard stropping compounds, this formula contains a dense suspension of 6 micron diamonds, capable of rapidly removing burrs, refining edges, and polishing surfaces to a mirror finish. The polycrystalline structure of the diamonds ensures a more aggressive cutting action, with multiple sharp facets working simultaneously to refine even the toughest steels.
Ideal for use on leather, balsa, or synthetic strops, this emulsion bonds easily and spreads evenly, allowing users to create a highly effective stropping surface with minimal effort. The result is a faster stropping process and a sharper, longer-lasting edge—making it a favorite among professional sharpeners, woodworkers, and knife enthusiasts.
The Max Concentration Poly Diamond Emulsion delivers professional-grade results with every use. It’s not just a stropping compound—it’s a performance upgrade for your entire sharpening system.

💎 Polycrystalline vs. Monocrystalline Diamond
| Cutting Action | More aggressive; faster breakdown into micro-edges | Slower, smoother polishing |
| Finish Quality | Slightly hazier (micro-scratches) | Ultra-smooth, mirror-like finish |
| Ideal Use | Tough steels, edge shaping, aggressive stropping | Final polish and fine edge refinement |
🧪 Performance Advantages
- Ultra-high abrasive density provides faster material removal and a sharper edge.
- Polycrystalline particles fracture into smaller cutting edges as they wear, increasing cutting efficiency.
- Even particle distribution ensures consistent contact and polishing.
- Compatible with any blade steel, including high-carbide, M390, S90V, Rex 121, etc.
Usage Instructions
- Shake Well – Disperse the diamond particles evenly.
- Apply Sparingly – A few drops or sprays across your strop is sufficient.
- Spread Evenly – Use a gloved finger or card to distribute.
- Let Dry – Allow 2–5 minutes to absorb into the strop (for water-based variants).
- Strop Lightly – Use gentle, edge-trailing strokes for best results.
