Grit 1500 2000 2500 3000 5000 7000 High Precision Polishing Sanding Wet/dry Abrasive Sandpaper Sheets - Germany, Pack of 12

Edit/update: I've been doing some whetstone sharpening and found that the Japanese grit scale (JIS) and this sandpaper are way off from each other. The 7000 grit sandpaper is equivalent to the naniwa 12k super stone in scratch pattern and the 5000 grit paper is finer that the naniwa 8k super stone. After the 7000 paper the white, green and blue strop compounds are too course, the 0.10 micron CBN compound is the only thing that doesn't scratch up the finish. The 3000, 5000 and 7000 are the best product I've found for sandpaper sharpening of knives, axes etc. I'm even including 3M lapping film in this, I recently tried the 1 micron and .3 micron lapping films (equivalent to 14000 and 80000 grit, supposedly) and the 7000 grit paper in this pack leaves a finer scratch pattern than even the .3 micron film. I've also tried the 6000 edge pro lapping film (a supposed 10000 to 14000 grit equivalent) and this is only slightly better in fine scratch patterns but is much more delicate and is used up much faster, plus even a slight imperfection in the film can leave deep scratches, something that hasn't come up with the German sandpaper. I've sharpened high hardness steels (60-63 HRC) like m390, XHP, s35vn and s30v with no issues and have had excellent results. The lower grits, 1500, 2000, 2500, are very good, equal to 3m of similar grits however these German ones don't last as long as the 3m. I can do 5-6 blades on 3M and maybe 3-4 blades on these. So if these grits are more important maybe try 3m instead. Overall the finer grits are outstanding for getting a fine polish, the paper backing is very high quality and durable and last a long time. Added some pics to try and show what the 7000 grit finish looks like on a blade edge, some cold steel tomahawks in 1055 steel and some popular blade steels on the folders, besides the ones listed above there's D2, 14c28n, ctsbd1N and 154cm.

You can't find these just anywhere. These are good quality papers from Germany.

I love these specific grits for plastic modeling they will not leave huge scratches in your model and are just coarse enough to clean up nipping mistakes on plastic and get your model back to a smooth printable surface or just back to a nice glossy finish look.

Arrived in reasonable time, in good shape, with reasonable price (in line with other sites), and works. What else is needed? Would do it again.

The pack that I received was not actually made in Germany, but China. Overall, the sandpaper seems to hold up well. The 1500 grit is very fine. These seem to work best when wet. The paper rinses easily too.

Very easy to use, fine grits produced a nice shine in the finish even before finishing compound.

This sandpaper blew me away In terms of quality at this price point. I truly do think this is the absolute best value for sandpaper of this grit at this consistency for this price. I will be buying this regularly

Does what it said it would do

I’m a guitarist. So it’s very important to keep my nails in perfect condition all the time. This product works perfect for me. From rough grit to very fine grit works really well to buff my nails. I’m very satisfied with this product.

great kit has diffrent grades that i love

Good and arrived safely

J’ai quelques place sur ma voiture qui ont besoin une retouche. Après avoir couvert une couche de « prime Paint » il me faut du papier à sable très fin pour avoir une surface très lisse, ces papiers ont fait une bonne job.

Rescued my scratched Zwilling knife. I applied 2000, 3000, 5000, then 7000. Eventually, I was able to remove the obvious scratches caused by some horrible whetstone. I am happy with the rescue. It made my job much easier. I only need a final polish now.
