I picked up some Emery, Stainless, and White Rouge from Eastwood a week or so ago and wanted to give my opinions.

It's really good stuff, something I would recommend to have as a standard in your restore tool chest. Slow cutting but great for working around engraving on blades. It's also exactly what you need to restore mirror finishes on blades (a larger buffer would be better to speed the mirror finish process up but you could get by with a dremel for this).

You have to work in the emery and the stainless on your felt wheel (dremel). This not the wheel that the stuff calls for, but you can "make it happen". I did not really like the finishing white rouge (it's really hard to get it to stay on the felt wheel) and prefer Maas for the finishing work.

The compounds really don't scratch much at all. More of a buff "smear" and that gets buffed out with the finishing compounds. I would not recommend this stuff for a blade that does not have engraving or does not need a mirror finish (maybe at the end you could use this for the mirror) as it's a slow process. I'm currently working on a blade that has some nice engraving and a mirror finish so this stuff is working out perfect.

There is higher grits available that would make for even shorter work, but the emery and the stainless is a good place to start. I was at Sears Ro. today and I saw bars of the stuff for $2 a piece (and a good amount per bar, more than you'll ever need for blade work). BTW they [Sears] have really nice Ball Peen hammers made in the USA @ 4 oz. and 8 oz. with very nice wood/ very well made for under $15.
