Work Sharp STROP BELT KIT Review! #worksharp

Updated opinion 7/2/24:
I do not recommend this belt. It ended up breaking about 2 weeks after use. I have since found a faster and more efficient way to remove burrs on the Ken Onion system. I plan to update this review with a link to the new process and products when I have the video up.

Hello from the Great North of Canada! I love your videos and i am also a member! I bought Kan Onion Edition and the grind also 6 mounth ago! I had exacly the same problem as you with there compouds! But i found while surching on the net that there is a easy way to help with a hard compoud that doen not want to apply! You take a liter or a candle and make 3 4 passe over the flame and go right away on the bellt! the heat made the compoud soft and it worked for me!! Thanks again and continue you nice work! God Bless from the North! Frank!

The after market stropping belts should be conditioned before first use. Add a little Vaseline to the belt, run the belt for a minute, wipe it dry then add compound.

I've been using these leather belts for several years and they give me great results. I usually use one with 1 micron diamond compound and another one with Tormek PA-70 compound. These will both work much better than the crappy white and green compounds that come with the belts.

I have ordered. When I receive I will first use Herold - Solingen Yellow Leather Treatment Strop Paste on it first, then apply Herold - Solingen Green Stropping Paste. On additional belt ordered I will also use Herold - Solingen Yellow Leather Treatment Strop Paste on it first then apply Herold - Solingen Red Stropping Paste.

Are you using the Work Sharp Ken & Onion Edition?

[brianfoster]

Those old style compounds are mostly wax. They gum up the strop over time. That's why I'm going with diamond emulsion.

I just bought the Ken onion worksharp with belt grind attachment and ordered the new stropping belts and you said you did hundreds of knives on that one belt so was you able to get real good edges on the super steels and did the stepping belts put a mirrored edge on them ?

[jonasriede]

Do u still use this leather belt or which leather belt and which compound for it would I recommend ?

[Nomad]

How long will one of these sharpeners last if used on a daily basis?

[harperexplores]

Doesn’t the compound go on the soft side of the leather? The softer flesh side will hold compound.

[brianusa]

Wet the compound it will stick to belt better

[rowboat]

I didnt realize i had to add compounds to my 6k belts. Does it make a difference?

[schleiflust]

This leather belt is no good. Buy the one from "Super Strop"!!! This one is running rough and this compound is for the trash can.
