Emulsions & stropping compound

What is the best poly diamond stropping emulsion for me?
Jende Industries offers a complete line of poly diamond stopping emulsions to meet every stropping need. Our poly diamond sprays are best suited for final stropping, and for use on leather and felt. Our "regular" poly diamond emulsions can be used more universally for maintenance and finish stropping, along with polishing and can be used across all stropping mediums. Our Jende Max poly diamond emulsions are formulated for use on hard steels, abrasion resistant steels, and ceramic blades.

What is Max Concentration Poly Diamond Knife Stropping Emulsion used for?
Max Concentration Poly Diamond Emulsion is a high-performance stropping compound used to polish and refine the cutting edge of knives and tools, especially on on hard steels, abrasion resistant steels, and ceramic blades.

Why choose a high-concentration poly diamond emulsion (high performance diamond emulsion) for stropping knives?
A high-concentration poly diamond emulsion contains more polycrystalline diamond particles by volume than our regular emulsions, delivering faster results with fewer passes. It's designed to be used when stropping hard steels, abrasion resistant steels, and ceramic blades.

What is the difference between Aluminum Oxide and Chromium Oxide honing compounds?
Aluminum Oxide honing compounds are slightly more aggressive and are typically used for intermediate polishing and edge refinement, while Chromium Oxide provides a finer finish and is preferred for final stropping stages. Both are excellent for use on leather, balsa, or hard felt strops and are ideal for knife and razor edge maintenance.

How do you use Aluminum Oxide or Chromium Oxide compound bars for stropping?
Simply rub the bar onto your strop surface (leather, kangaroo, or balsa, etc.) until a light, even layer forms - you don't want to cake it. Then, strop your blade with gentle, consistent strokes.

Can I use Jende Coticule Emulsion with leather strops for razors?
Yes, Jende Coticule Emulsion pairs perfectly with leather or nanocloth strops and is especially popular among straight razor users. It delivers a refined, shaving-sharp edge with excellent tactile feedback, making it a premium alternative to traditional green and white compound bars.
