NEW: Tru Hone Polishing Conversion Kits

Tru Hone Polishing Conversion Kit HW1000CK

If you’re using a Tru Hone Commercial Sharpener day in and day out, you probably like it for what it does best:

  • It’s fast
  • It’s consistent
  • It keeps knives working

For a lot of operations, that’s exactly what’s needed, but if you need greater refinement to your edges than what the standard Tru Hone 220 Grit Grinding Wheels provide, these conversion kits are for you.

These polishing kits are for situations where:

  • You want a cleaner, more refined edge
  • You’re noticing knives don’t quite perform the way you want after sharpening
  • You’re looking to extend edge life or improve cutting feel

This is about improving the system you know works.

What Included In Each Tru Hone Polishing Conversion Kits

The Tru Hone Polishing Conversion Kits convert a Tru Hone Commercial Heavy or Light into a dedicated edge refinement system.

The HW1000CK Tru Hone 1000 Grit Polishing Conversion Kit includes:

  • 1 Set of 1000 Grit Polishing wheels (HW1000)
  • Brass washers
  • A redesigned wheel cover with a built-in water trough to manage water
  • A 2oz bottle of cleaning fluid
  • A water bottle for controlled application

The HW1500CK Tru Hone 1000 Grit Polishing Conversion Kit includes:

  • 1 Set of 1500 Grit Polishing wheels (HW1500)
  • Brass washers
  • A redesigned wheel cover with a built-in water trough to manage water
  • A 2oz bottle of cleaning fluid
  • A water bottle for controlled application

These setups are focused on refining the edge that’s already there.

What Changes When You Add a Polishing Step

Tru Hone setups are optimized for speed and throughput. That usually means:

  • A functional edge
  • Good bite
  • Quick turnaround

Polishing shifts the focus slightly. You’ll start to notice:

  • A smoother, more consistent edge
  • Cleaner cuts (especially in kitchen environments)
  • Less tearing in certain materials
  • Edges that hold their performance longer

1000 Grit vs 1500 Grit Tru Hone Wheels

Both options are designed for refinement, but they feel different in use.

Tru Hone Polishing Wheels 1000 Grit 

  • Slightly more aggressive
  • Faster transition from sharpening
  • Good all-around polishing option

Tru Hone Polishing Wheels 1500 Grit

  • Finer finish
  • Smoother cutting feel
  • Better for applications where cut quality matters more

Who The Polishing Conversion Kit Is For

This is a good fit if:

  • You already use a Tru Hone Light or Heavy Commercial Sharpener
  • You want to improve edge performance, not change systems
  • You’re working in an environment where cut quality is starting to matter more

If Tru Hone has been working well for you, these conversion kits will allow to add a dedicated polishing machine to refine your sharpening workflow.

Adding a polishing stage gives you a way to get more out of every edge, without slowing down the system you already rely on.
