I used to have a hard time keeping my knives sharp until I started buying this compound.

Pale Stropping Compound
My new go to sharpening system...also got the sharpening strop to match. I needed to upgrade and replace, so I chose to go with DWV, perfect touch up sharpening / polish. I worry about excess wearing on my best blades...but no worries here...Pale is so mild I use it often and my blades shine and glide. Highly recommended!

ill never go back
I always used the usual green compound when I stropped my knives...Until I tried Deerwood's Ventures pale compound. I absolutely love it and will never go back to the green stuff. this leaves my knives so perfectly sharp. I immediately ordered more after my first use.
