Beaver Craft P1 20g Polishing Compound for Carving Knives

When a cutting tool needs finishing before camp or bushcraft work, Beaver Craft P1 polishing compound gives you a practical way to polish blades and other tool parts. It is intended for hard metals and alloys, and can also be used on stones, glass and other non-metals—useful for keeping tools maintained between trips or while working at home. Apply a small amount to a polishing pad while it rotates, then press the item lightly against the pad. It can also be applied to leather for stropping knives, chisels, planers and razors. Renew the layer on the leather when it wears away or fades.

Where it fits in your kit

• Home tool-maintenance supplies: keep it with sharpening and finishing equipment.
• Shed or workshop: use it when finishing carving tools and other cutting-tool parts.
• Camp and bushcraft tool care: include it with your tool-maintenance kit for planned upkeep at camp.
• Woodworking area: use it to polish chisels and planers as well as knives.

Prep tips

• Keep polishing compound with a suitable leather strop or polishing pad.
• Practise the application and finishing process at home before relying on it during a trip.
• Maintain a separate sharpening method; polishing compound is for finishing, not a replacement for sharpening.
