Chromium oxide on glass
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.

Thanked: 7One 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.

They actually made frosted glass barber hones at one point. The instruction saod to rub a graphite pencil all over the surface and then to hone. This chroumium method would be very similar.

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>
