Richmond Diamond Spray is a polycrystalline diamond suspension in a 2oz spray bottle designed for use on leather and fabric strops. Each bottle contains 10 carats of diamond powder in a non-clumping formula. Spray 2-3 times on the strop surface, let it dry, and strop as normal. The diamond compound loads into the strop and lasts through multiple stropping sessions - a little goes a long way. The spray is used in the CKTG sharpening service for final edge refinement before knives are returned to customers. Micron size determines the level of refinement: larger micron = more aggressive, smaller micron = finer polish.
The 1.0-micron spray is the coarsest in the Richmond range and the right starting point for strops that will see regular use as a final step after a water stone progression. At 1 micron it removes the fine burr and wire edge left by the last sharpening stone quickly and efficiently, leaving an edge ready for use. For sharpeners working on a simple two-stone setup (1K and a finisher), the 1.0-micron strop is often all that is needed between the last stone and the cutting board. It is also the practical choice for general kitchen knife maintenance where speed matters more than achieving a pure mirror polish. 10 carats of diamond per bottle - lasts considerably longer than the small bottle suggests.
What Customers Are Saying: Eleven reviewers confirm it works as described - a practical stropping compound that produces noticeably sharper edges after use. Described as the CKTG secret weapon that lives up to the name.
Care Instructions: Store upright. Shake before use. Keep away from heat. A single application lasts multiple sessions - do not over-apply.

After reading reviews and seeing videos I decided on the 1 micron spray. After touching up one of my knives on a 1000/6000 King stone I stropped the blade with this spray. Just amazing how sharp the knife is. Hair splitting sharp. This will last me quite awhile. I think the 1 Micron is just right for me. Very impressed. Thx to CKTG as usual for the fast shipping and great accessories.

This product is truly efficacious! Apply it to leather, it's great apply to wood it's slightly different, slightly more aggressive. Dropping pearls here but on glossy finish cardboard the finish that is achieved is spectacular. Hair whittling is the lower end result, if done right it will blow right through the hair. Skill is obviously required but this product will deliver.

Have been challenged stropping some very high hardness and/or wear resistant metals like HAP 40. This got things going the right direction straight away. Followed up with some finer CBN products previously purchased. The knives turned out wonderfully. Love CKTG and service!

I have been having difficulty stropping my very high hardness and wear resistant blades, such as HAP 40 at 65 HRC. Stropping with the 1 micron diamond spray has worked perfectly! The compound cuts very well and is a great base for follow-up with finer micron CBN spray previously ordered from this site. The edges are crazy sharp. As always, super fast service with great communication. Thanks CKTG.

It's about half the price of other brands and works amazing. It took my sharpening to another level.
I currently finish with this, but will probably grab the .5 and .25 to compare. Be careful when applying as it had a wider spray than I thought it would. I've made a bit of a mess with it a few times. Now I spray it on over the sink. If you are looking to get that nice mirror polish this is the way to go.

This diamond spray is by far the best diamond spray I've used for the price. It works as well as dmt brand or Ken Schwartz's sprays. For the price it can't be beat in my opinion. It stays effective for a long time and works fast. It will separate after a while so shake before use. Highly recommended!

Great for getting the perfect edgePosted By: Brandon Burnett

I've been using this with the kangaroo 1x6" strop for the Edge Pro and have gotten excellent results. Get a much nicer edge than with the 2000 grit polish tapes alone, plus the 1 micron leaves a bit of "bite" on the edge, I'm sure I could keep going with .5 and .25 micron but for my pocket knives 1 micron seems to be adequate.
