I'm a knifemaker and have recently stared making knives for the leather trade. Leatherworkers traditionally have used a red "jeweler's rouge" to buff and strop their knives, but that compound is just not intended for steel. I've been recommending the 555 black to them as I've found it not only "cuts" the steel, actually taking off just enough material to sharpen, but also leaves a nice bright and shiny smooth finish that glides through the leather. I also use this compound as a preliminary buff for finishing my regular knives as well. This compound is not too "dry" either, so it rubs into a leather stropping board very well and does not flake off with use. I highly recommend this, and all the other compounds in the "555" line.
