Purple Ceramic Honing Film
Bonika Mission Statement and Logo
Our Mission
Glorifying Christ is our first priority. Our second is treating our business associates the way we would want to be treated.
The Bonika Fish Logo
Our fish logo was chosen with purpose. First, the fish predates even the cross as a symbol of Christianity, and it serves as a constant reminder of our mission to honor Christ in all we do.
Second, the fish is a universal symbol of prosperity and adaptability—able to thrive across borders and cultures. That reflects our heart: to equip people everywhere with the skills to succeed, whether it’s “Teach a person to cut hair” or “Teach a person to sharpen.”
The "B" inside the fish stands for Bonika Shears, a name rooted in purpose and excellence.
Description
Purple Hone Film – Ceramic Precision That Lasts
Can a small change in abrasive make a noticeable difference in performance? Absolutely. Our Purple Ceramic Hone Film is designed for sharpeners who want longer life, cleaner scratch patterns, and reliable bur formation without excessive surface damage.
Available in 1500 grit or 800 grit, this ceramic abrasive film gives you control and consistency whether you're refining an edge or preparing for final polish. VELCRO Backing ONLY.
Sold individually for $2.00 each
Or 5 for $9.00
Lightweight, flexible, and engineered for precision honing applications.
✨ Why Ceramic?
Unlike aluminum oxide or silicon oxide abrasives, ceramic abrasive grains are engineered to fracture in a controlled way. As they break down, they continuously expose new sharp cutting edges. This means:
Longer abrasive life
More consistent cutting action
Reduced glazing
More uniform scratch pattern
In practical terms, many sharpeners find ceramic film lasts noticeably longer than traditional blue aluminum oxide film and leaves fewer deep scratches while still creating a clean, satisfactory bur.
🟣 Film — Not Sandpaper
This is not sand “paper.”
Traditional sandpaper uses a paper backing that can stretch, tear, and absorb moisture. Film abrasives use a durable polyester backing that remains flat and stable. The advantages:
More uniform abrasive surface
Greater dimensional stability
Resists tearing and curling
Consistent contact with your honing surface
For shear technicians who value precision, stability matters.
📐 Available Grits:
800 grit – Controlled cutting for edge refinement and bur development
1500 grit – Smoother scratch pattern for refined honing
✂️ Sharpening Notes:
Designed for professional shear sharpening applications. Produces a controlled, consistent bur while maintaining a cleaner surface finish compared to traditional aluminum oxide films.
Sold per sheet.
