Fine Cowhide Leather Strop on Anodized Blank 6" x 1"

Fine Leather Strop is an efficient way of final polishing a cutting edge using guided knife sharpeners. A leather strop enhances the cutting edge by correcting small nicks and smoothing grooves.

The stropping medium is very thin fine cowhide leather mounted on high-quality aluminum with 45-degree bevels (Edge Pro form-factor) and color anodizing: graphite gray, black, deep ruby red, ocean blue, emerald green, sepia orange. Different colors of blanks will help to avoid mistakes of using wrong grit. The thickness of leather is approximately 1mm, the thickness of aluminum blank is 5mm.

Gently slide the cutting edge over the strop, repeating 20-30 times for each side of the blade. The motion should avoid damaging the strop with the cutting edge.
