Sharpal Leather Honing Strop w/Compound - 8x3"/200x75mm

The Sharpal® Leather Honing Strop is designed for honing edged tools to a fine edge. Comes complete with a genuine cowhide leather strop, a sturdy beech block and an anti-slip rubber pad. Includes a specialised buffing compound for polishing edged tools to a mirror finish.


Features:

- Made from genuine cowhide leather for a razor edge

- Vegetable tanned and fine ground process for smooth and flat leather surface

- Sturdy beech block with anti-slip rubber pad

- Includes 57g (2 Oz.) green buffing compound for mirror polish finish


Use:

- Hold the bevel against the surface of the strop with light pressure and move the blade away from the cutting edge.

- Turn the blade over and do the same on the other side.

- The process is the same on any stropping surface, with or without a honing compound.

- Never move the blade toward the cutting edge as it will cut into the strop, resulting in dulling of the edge and damage to the strop.

- A few strokes are usually sufficient

- A strop is recommended to be used before you even think your edge is dull.

- Used consistently, it is a key step in maintaining a razor sharp edge.
