Has anybody used chromium oxide on a glass plate? I'm thinking about trying it but with a honing motion or alternating honing/stropping motion.

One of the knife forum guys tried it on frosted glass, iirc correctly they decided that a large postit note on a glass or granite plane surface was better.
Are you thinking of cr2o3 by itself or in a compound?
Using the chromium oxide paste from Hand America. If by compound do you mean that it contains other abrasives as well ? -- I think it's pure cr2o3. I know people have used leather, balsa wood. etc and the harder the surface the slower the cutting action --with glass you have the extra dimension of being able to use a honing motion as well -- just wondering as I do sometimes.Quote:

Tony,
Do mean like this?
No. That is for double edge blades and works to burnish or realign the edge like a chef's steel. It was used without abrasive.
I meant a 2" x 4", flat glass plate, frosted on the top, instructions glued on the bottom and likely useless but a cool marketing ploy anyway<g>
