Lapping Films

Diamond Lapping Film is a new sharpening option which produces results approaching Water Stones, but at an affordable price.

​For those just starting with Wicked Edge, Water Stones can be a challenge to learn to use.
Lapping films are an excellent alternative.


Lapping films comes in pre-cut strips that fit on a Wicked Edge Handle with a glass platen.

These come in a variety of grits from 9-.01 microns. 

For starting, I recommend 6 and 3 micron strips - roughly equivalent to 2000 and 4000 grit Water Stones.

A set of Lapping Films and Glass Platen Handles is only $94.50.
