Thread: "microabrasive" strop

You must be sanding lots of stuff to test their abrasive properties! Because the potential of that material just doesn't leap at you.
That being said, I think you should contact the manufacturer. They may be making a somewhat different product that would work even better, and without sanding. And maybe you can convince someone in their R&D department that diversifying their operations would work. This might work great for my kitchen knives too!

This material def. does not have much draw at all, it is very slick. It has a slight "furry" feel although (It will stick to your shirt if you drag it across). I forgot to mention that I have to sand the surface to bring that up, so it's kind of breaking up the fibers on the surface to serve as the microabrasive, really.

As for the micro pictures, I will see what I can do (dig up my USB microscope and see what comes out of it).

Got a chance to try yet? I'm veeeery curious.
