This is the exact sandpaper we selected for the Shelter Sharpening Kit, and the reason is simple: it works. Norton Gold sticky-back rolls lay flat on float glass, stay put through honing pressure, and cut steel consistently from first stroke to last. The abrasive is P-graded aluminum oxide on a strong paper backing with a no-load stearate coating, so the paper cuts cool and does not clog with swarf.
The 2-3/4-in width covers any chisel or plane iron you own, and 25 yards per roll means a season of sharpening from one purchase. Use 80 grit to reshape a bevel or take out a nick, 180 for general sharpening, and 320 for the fine edge before you strop. Peel, stick, sharpen.
