This generously sized leather strop provides the ultimate razor-sharp finish for your knives. Made from the highest quality vegetable-tanned leather by Tärnsjö, we highly recommend this strop as a complement to your primary sharpening process.

Instructions for Use:

1. Place the strop on a non-slip surface or secure it in a sharpening stone holder.
2. Position the knife at the start of the strop and draw the blade forward, moving away from the edge (opposite to a cutting motion). Flip the blade and repeat.
3. Perform a few strokes on each side until the edge feels sharp.

Key Tips:

• Maintain the same angle as the knife’s primary bevel, typically 12-15 degrees for Japanese knives.
• Aim for smooth and even strokes.

For Advanced Stropping:

If you really want to take your stropping to the next level, you can apply diamond paste to the strop. It increases the abrasive effect and gives the edge an almost unreal bite.
