6 Micron Resin Bonded Sharpening Stone - Pre Production Model - Version 1

STROPPY STUFF LTD

£245

A full-size 200×70 mm bench stone with a thick 5–7 mm diamond layer. Built for freehand sharpening: fast cutting, long lasting, and unmatched tactile feedback. This is my 6 micron resin-bonded diamond sharpening stone — the first pre-production run. While the backing shows some cosmetic imperfections and machining marks, the abrasive surface itself is flawless. What will change? The 6µm formula you see here is final : when production begins, only the presentation and price will change (cleaner packaging and a tidier backing). The performance you experience is exactly what I designed it to be.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as STROPPY STUFF LTD, number 13862617. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
