Description
TechDiamondTools diamond polishing compounds are suitable for lapping, polishing, and sharpening. All diamond pastes are oil-soluble and have no added color. The former provides faster cutting, and the latter allows using them on materials with high permeability.
A set of 3 diamond compounds is helpful when you need more than one polishing paste for your project. Each contains three different grits for a 3 step lapping or polishing process. You can choose from more than ten different combinations of compounds. One will help with the stock removal, and another will create a mirror finish, etc. Please, see our Grit Guide below to determine what set suits you best.

Used 4k, 8k, 50k on Ethiopian opal and did not have any issues with the color of the diamond paste bleeding in my opals. I would buy again.

I am so glad I found Tech Diamond Tools – perfect product for me!
I have spent the last coupon years acquiring items for my Wicked Edge (WE) knife sharpener. I have diamond stones 100/200, 400/600, 800/1000, 1500/2200 and leather strops w/4- and 2-micron diamond emulsion spray bottles. This is a hobby for me, so keeping experiences down is a large concern. I do not mind paying for quality and well-engineered products that will last. The WE spray worked great but was not effective/easy to use without wasting a little bit every time I charged the leather due to overspray, splash or remaining in the nozzle. To replace the two (2) 7-ml bottles of WE 4- and 2-micron spray was what I paid for the set of three (5,000, 14,000, and 50,000) plus the 100,000 (all High concentration 50%, 5 grams which looks like a 5-cc syringe) and only $5 shipping. I have never been happier with a purchase. I will definitely buy again to give my friends as the current amount of product I have will probably last me many, many years.
There is absolutely no waste, all the diamonds are placed exactly where you want them. I spray with Isopropyl alcohol to break down the oil-based delivery vehicle. Once you get the correct amount on the strops, I charge much less frequently than with the original WE products. I have used the 5,000 and 14,000 for several months as they are a good replacement for what I was previously using. Just yesterday I broke out the 50,000 and 100,000 and put on new leather strops. I only intended to sharpen my EDC, but the results were so amazing that I started refining others only to be astonished at the results. Not only is it getting to be a remarkably shiny edge, but I have never had a knife so sharp. I can actually shave a newspaper’s thickness – lay the paper on the table and slide the cutting edge away from you lightly increase the angle until the paper starts over the edge – no resistance. You can stop and you have not cut through the paper. I have sharpened several Benchmade knives (154CM, CPM-S30V, M390, and CPM-S90V) all with incredible results.
