Kanaban - Steel Lapping Plate

Decided to experiment with a new kanaban using grease based grinding paste - Chemico coarse and fine - to avoid rust.
Really interesting feel of the tool on the plate - the grease seems to suck the tool down onto the flat reference surface, avoiding the skating you can get on diamond stones. And of course a LOT cheaper than diamond plates.
Not having to apply pressure is a huge bonus.
Let’s see how this goes over time but initially impressed.

FANTASTICO… i did not nit even know about this product untill attending the chisel sharpening course. …well worth the investment

For a long time I’ve Been lapning on diamond plate but this Way of lapning the back of chisels and plane blades it super easy its not that messy. The water management is a bit learning curve but the result is really worth it

Came as expected. I’m very impressed with the quality of the product.

This is coming from the gift recipient…
Fantastic!

Well packaged in rust proof paper but arrived with slight scratches in the surface. Hasn't seemed to affect usage.
Kanaban works well, very slow on western chisels with shapton fine powder but the kanaban hasn't seemed to show any wear which is pleasant to see. Overall happy with the product, definitely does well holding a slurry

This lapping plate is a wonderfully simple and fast way of achieving a very flat and polished surface on edge tools. I like being able to choose the type and grit of abrasive used.., I have even used it to prepare the back of a new single bevel Japanese kitchen knife with fantastic results

Ordered on Saturday night arrived tuesday morning. Awsome service and jig is incredible. Very simple to use and quality results. Use dry hard wood only for best results.

Exactly what I expected. A few technique issues but easily sorted

As advertised - very flat. Not having to regularly dress a stone when flattening and polishing the back of a new blade has been great. Fast postage and great service as always.
