Lansky Eraser Block


This is a tool I just ordered to remove stains etc from old razors. I have an idea it will be useful and not leave the scratches sandpaper does. It will also be of use in the little nooks and crannies around the tang etc.
Anyone else try these yet?

Would be interesting to know what grit size the abrasive is.

Olivia that they don't say. I can probably find out but as cheap as it is I jumped on it without checking. Okay I did look at several sites and none say. One had this to say:
Eraser Block - Ceramic Sharpener Cleaner and a very useful cleaner to have around the house. A special pliable abrasive type eraser used to clean metal filings which accumulate during the sharpening process on the alumina ceramic sharpening rods. Proper cleaning of your ceramic rods will increase the efficiency and longevity of your sharpener. Can also be used to clean golf club heads, kitchen sinks, black utensil marks on china, etc.
Hopefully after getting a little use on a junk blade I'll have an idea. I'm guessing no higher than 325. Since they say you can use it on china I wouldn't think it would leave any marks to speak of on steel.

That fine would be great.

They are great little tools but unless you dont mind a small satin finished spot on your blade to remind you where the rust is you should be prepared to do the whole blade. and the best finish you should expect with that is a satin finish.
