LEATHER WORKING TOOLS - LEATHER STROP
DESCRIPTION: This premium handmade leather strop is crafted from a solid block of wood.
Unlike most designs, this one features three fully usable surfaces: the leather grain side for initial stropping, the leather flesh side for honing, and a polished wooden side that acts as an ultra-fine surface.
The shape and weight of this strop, along with the anti-slip leather strips at the bottom, allow you to keep your tools steady with both hands if required.
Each strop is carefully planed by hand on all surfaces to ensure excellent flatness. The wood is recycled from offcuts (except when specific dimensions are chosen), as is the leather. It can also be resurfaced when needed, further reducing waste.
Contact us for custom-made sizes.
USE: A leather strop is a traditional and effective tool for honing and polishing the edges of cutting tools.
Apply a small amount of polishing compound evenly to the leather surface (be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific compound you are using).
Use the flesh side for the first strops and the full grain leather side for the final strops.
Remember that the leather strop is primarily for honing and polishing an already sharp edge. If your blade is dull or has significant damage, you may need to use a more substantial sharpening method, like sharpening stones, before finishing with the strop.
