Leather Strop — DualSided Edge Polishing and TouchUp Strip Key benefits Dualsided design: one fine side and one coarse side let you choose the level of abrasion needed — coarse for quick edge alignment and minor repairs, fine for final polishing and mirror finishes. Fast, precise edge refinement: engineered to promote consistent angle control and efficient stropping, so you can restore cutting performance quickly without removing excess metal. Tool protection and longevity: backed with a composite material that cushions the tool, resists wear, and helps prevent external scratches while preserving edge geometry. Versatile and compatible: effective for knives, straight razors, chisels, plane irons and other edged tools that benefit from stropping and polishing. What it does for you Restores and refines edges: use the coarse side to realign burrs and correct minor nicks, then switch to the fine side to polish the bevel and improve cutting smoothness. Maintains consistent angles: the strop's design supports controlled stropping strokes so you retain the edge geometry you worked to achieve with stones or honing systems. Protects tools in use and storage: the composite backing reduces abrasion to the tool's body and helps extend the working life of blades and cutting tools. Material and performance Leather working surface for reliable polishing and bite on the edge. Composite backing provides wear resistance and cushioning to protect both the strop and your tools. Intended for finishing and touchups rather than heavy material removal. Practical use scenarios Kitchen knives: after honing on stones, perform a few passes on the strop to remove remaining burrs and deliver a smoother, longerlasting cutting edge for daily meal prep. Woodworking tools: keep chisels and plane irons ready on the bench with quick stropping between work sessions to maintain clean cuts and reduce the need for frequent full rehoning. Traditional razors and fine blades: use the fine side for final polishing to achieve a comfortable shave or a precise cutting edge on specialty blades. How to use (concise) Hold the blade at the bevel angle used during sharpening. Draw the blade away from the edge along the leather with light, consistent pressure. Start on the coarse side for alignment, then finish on the fine side for polishing. Repeat a few passes per side as needed; stropping is for finishing and touchups, not for heavy grinding. Reliable, simple, and focused on function — this leather strop is designed to polish edges, protect your tools, and extend their useful life without altering the core sharpening process.
