Used to put a final edge on blades, or to touch up a blade between sharpening sessions, a strop is a useful addition to any sharpening arsenal
Our double-sided hand comes with the leather unattached, so you can attach it as you wish and strop with the smooth (skin) side or the rough (suede) side
Made of 18mm thick CNC routed Baltic birch plywood, it has a contoured handle for a comfortable grip
Once mounted, the leather is recessed into the body to reduce the accumulation of debris when the strop is set down
The 1 3/4" × 9" leather pads can be replaced as needed
Since leather has a natural fine abrasive, the strop can be used as is; however, for optimum honing results, you can charge one side of the leather with a thin layer of our Veritas green honing compound to give the best combination of cutting speed and fine finish
