Thread: Cro-ox in powdered form

can anyone point me in the right direction on where to buy some powdered Cro-ox? thanks

if you do not mind shopping in US
try this source

I think I saw some in the classifieds... Also, a few online shops have it. SRD comes to mind...

Try the classifieds, ChrisL is providing small amounts to those that need it.
No need to buy a lifetime supply.

+1 to ChrisL its very affordable and comes very quickly, good stuff

Nessmuck,

I recently bought some from this place.

Japanese Knife Sharpening Stones, Japanese Waterstones, whetstones, wetstones, sharpening stones, knife sharpening stones, hones, water stones, waterstones, strops,Japanese Hones, Kitchen Knife Sharpening Service, Knife Sharpening Service, knife shar

It is .3 micron. and arrived in 2 days. 1.5 oz looks like a life time supply.

They also show you the best way to apply it to fabric, felt or balsa hones.

Put it on lighter than you think it should be.

I bought a pound of it and as much as I have to strop, hone, polish, it's still likely to be a lifetime supply.

In the Classifieds go to "Strops and Hones" and scroll down to Chromium Oxide. Chris sells it in small packets. I think we put a bunch of on some paddles we had for door prizes at one of the Minnesota Razor Ups. A fine, fine green as I remember. Wear gloves when you play with it as at half a micron the stuff will get into anything and hang in there with remarkable tenacity.

+1

I have pasted quite a few strops with the little packet from chris and still have some left. A little goes a long way.

+1 on Chris's packet. A little does go a long way. I would not only wear glove but one of those paper masks until you get it in a liquid base to apply it. Here is a tutorial Josh Earl did some time ago on pasting a strop.
