Work Sharp Polishing Compound (Green) — Chromium Oxide, 0.5 Micron

Work Sharp Green Polishing Compound is a professional and versatile product for finishing knife edges and woodworking tools. This Work Sharp brand product is designed to remove small burrs, smooth out micro-irregularities after sharpening, and achieve a mirror finish without excessive metal loss. Thanks to its fine grit with an abrasive size of 0.5 microns, the compound works slightly more aggressively than the red version but leaves a clean and even surface.

The active ingredient in the compound is chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃), which ensures effective polishing of steels of various compositions and hardness. Chromium oxide performs well with stainless and high-carbon steels, combining high polishing efficiency with a delicate effect on the edge. This is why Work Sharp green compound remains a popular choice among amateurs and professionals who value a quality finish.
