For use with the Work Sharp WS3000 Tool Sharpener only. From the Manufacturer Includes tempered glass wheel. For use with the Work Sharp WS3000 Tool Sharpener only. Review: Works GREAT! I am using it to hone my carving ... - Received the kit today and installed it. Read the "negative" reviews before buying about the leather being bumpy. No problem, a couple of minutes with a sanding block and it was trued up. I did not expect the leather to be perfectly true to the disc since it comes from an animal and the folks who make leather are not machinists. Works GREAT! I am using it to hone my carving gouges. Puts a very nice mirror finish on the tools. I have been using the WS3000 for a couple of years but had not got around to using it for the carving tools. Should have bought this much sooner. No matter how you cut the mustard, this is a good deal. A blank glass disc costs about $20, for $4 more you get the leather. Several posters complained that it should have been included in the machine package. Not so fast, I did not need it for doing my chisels. Nor do most people who only use it for chisels. So why should they pay an extra $25? Then have something laying around that they do not use? Sounds dumb to me! Review: Let’s get back to work! - If you’re on the fence, just buy it. The honing compound might be small but once I seasoned it on the leather you wind need much. I keep mine covered to prevent and particles embedding themself into the leather in the shop. I will never regret buying something that kept my tools sharp and gets be back on the bench working. I hope it does the same for you! ## Features - Includes Leather disc and 150mm tempered glass wheel for Work Sharp WS3000 Wood Tool Sharpener - Model Number: WSSA0002001 - Create and maintain razor sharp tools with leather strop and sharpening compound - Includes .5 Micron compound and white petroleum USP ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000QD5UR4 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #141,973 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #266 in Sharpening Stones | | Brand | WORK SHARP | | Color | Leather Hone Kit | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (346) | | Date First Available | October 2, 2001 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00662949037693 | | Grit Type | Fine | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.01 ounces | | Item model number | WSSA0002001 | | Manufacturer | Work Sharp | | Material | Leather | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | WSSA0002001 | | Product Dimensions | 10.35"L x 7.98"W x 2.85"H | | Size | Leather Hone Kit | | Style | Leather Hone Kit | | UPC | 787721684534 662949037693 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WORK SHARP - **Color:** Leather Hone Kit - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00662949037693 - **Grit Type:** Fine - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Manufacturer:** Work Sharp - **Material:** Leather - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 10.35"L x 7.98"W x 2.85"H - **UPC:** 787721684534 662949037693 ## Images ![WSSA0002001 Leather Hone Kit (WS3000 ONLY), Beige - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xYpcq+fnL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the compound grit size to charge the leather strop ?** A: My leather hone plate came with a stick of compound. The link below shows that the compound is .5 micron Chromium Oxide. Wet the leather and rub the stick on the leather as it is turning. Add as required.http://www.worksharptools.com/woodworking/woodworking-sharpener/parts-and-accessories-woodworking/work-sharp-3000-leather-hone-kit.html **Q: Could you put this on a six flat disc sander (like one you would find on a belt sander)?** A: it is a leather stuck onto a glass disc, not sure how you would secure that to a vertical sander, would leave the glass edge exposed to chipping I think.using it in a vertical position **Q: is there leather on both sides of the disk?** A: The leather is only on one side of the disk. **Q: What is the dimensions? 10.3X8.2X2.7 doesn't seem correct?** A: The hone kit is essentially the same float glass plate or plates that come with the Work sharp unit. It is 6 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick, minus the leather. You would be advised to buy another plain tempered glass disk and go to a leather shop or boot maker and get a nice piece of thick split leather and make up your own. The leather on mine was so rough and poorly dimensioned for thickness and made my tool bounce around on it when using it. I had to glue a new one on, hair side up, and it works very well now. Just make sure that what you buy has been been run through splitter and about as thick as a heavy work belt for your pants. You can buy the chrome oxide honing compound at any wood working supply vendor and treat the leather with a thin coat of petroleum jelly before applying the compound. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works GREAT!

My second leather wheel works excellent. I use it now along with their felt wheels all the time with gouges, chisels, and plane blades. In fact, both the leather and the felt are used more any any of sand paper discs and you can have two different grit compounds that work for well over 90% of my needs. Old Review: I like the idea of this but my disc was really uneven creating a wobble that is bad enough so that it renders this useless. Essentially it seems that some of the leather is 1/16" or maybe or 3/32" higher then the rest. It doesn't seem like a lot but when the outside of the disc is spinning at a fairly rapid speed, there's no way to use the disc. The tools literally can't be held down and the whole unit rattles. I have tried to use sand paper on a block while the disc is spinning to sand off the high spots but it hasn't worked yet. I may try getting a little more aggressive with it next. I'd say rather then throw it away, I'll somehow get the leather off and keep the glass disc. Additionally, I will say that I want to love the WS3000 but my additions such as this leather disc and the wide blade table and holder had the exact same problems I've read about in reviews here over the last couple years. These are known issues and you'd think a company would care to fix these known issue. I understand that having molds and jigs changed up overseas would take some time but these issues have been around for years and years. I really want WS to listen to their customers and become a smarter better company. ## Frequently Bought Together - Work Sharp WSSA0002001 Leather Hone Kit (WS3000 ONLY), Beige - Work Sharp WSSA0002023 Tempered Glass Wheel For WS3000 - Fine Abrasive Kit for Work Sharp WS3000 Wood Tool Sharpener WSSA0002043 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2097277-wssa0002001-leather-hone-kit-ws3000-only-beige](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2097277-wssa0002001-leather-hone-kit-ws3000-only-beige) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
