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 0.125-micron spray is the finest compound in the Richmond range - a finishing compound for sharpeners pursuing the highest level of edge refinement available with diamond abrasive. At this particle size the compound polishes rather than cuts, refining the edge surface to a near-mirror finish that produces the cleanest, most effortless slicing feel. It is used in the CKTG sharpening service as the final finishing step before blades are returned to customers. For kitchen knife use it is most relevant on single-bevel blades, very fine carbon steels, and any knife where the absolute best possible edge is the goal. For straight razor work it is the standard final pre-strop compound before plain leather.
What Customers Are Saying: Six reviewers confirm it delivers on the ultra-fine refinement promise. Described as the final touch that takes an already sharp edge to its best possible state.
Care Instructions: Store upright. Shake before use. Keep away from heat. A single application lasts multiple sessions - do not over-apply.

the diamond spray on the strop seems to work well. my edges improved from the,25 micron stuff.
i didnt like that i shook up the spray well because i had read other reviews about clogs and the sprayer clogged up on the 5th spritz (includin the priming presses). costumer service said i should shake it up.. no help there. i hvae not had the same problem with the others i bought (1.0, .5, and .25 micron.)

Tristen N. -- The problem you had with the bottle may be that you didn't shake it well. I had the same problem with the 0.5 micron spray bottle. Then it dawned on me to shake it up. Right after that, it worked beautifully, a nice, fine, even spray, like an "atomizer", just about exactly the width of the strop from about 6" away.

The spray works well on a bovine strop, however, the bottle SUCKS! it should have been in a plastic bottle, and mine came with a defective spray pump. I tried to spray it for 5 minutes straight and nothing came out. ended up putting it into an old glasses cleaner bottle and that worked well. better off just buying a paste instead.

I enjoy trying new products. CKTG .125 diamond spray was a no brainer for my stropping needs. I loaded a kangaroo strop and went at it. The test was to sharpen a Tojiro 240 to 6k and then strop with 1 micron CBN emulsions on roo leather and then finish with. .125 diamond spray on another roo strop. After every 10 passes on the strop with .125 I'd cut a paper towel. The results were eye opening. After the first 10 passes per side the knife improved noticeably, after 20 even more so. In the case I did 50 very light passes per side and the finished edge would glide through a paper towel. At more than half the cost of many of the CBN emulsions this is a winner. Great product, great price, no brainer.
