BeaverCraftLeather Strop for Knife Sharpening - Knife Strop Block with Polishing Compound Stropping Kit 14" - Knife Sharpener Polishing Kit LS6P1

I am new to Sharpening my own knives and stropping them. I have spent a lot of time talking to ChatGPT to find out EXACTLY WHY we strop and what it does and doesn't do. So many YOUTUBE Knife people say you need to STROP blah blah blah all the time. As if the Strop is somehow re-sharpening their blade. All I know is, this strop is great for me as a newbie. I love it. I might have to buy Leather Conditioner because I think we are supposed to condition our leather strop periodically? I'm new at this. I have no regrets buying this.

First time using a leather strop. I was amazed with how sharp this left my knife. While the sharpener I was using could get it pretty sharp, this takes the edge to a whole new level. Would highly recommend this product to anyone getting into knife sharpening and has been missing this step in the process. It works well, has a good thickness to it and is easy to use.

I use it all the time. The only issue is the felt side is starting to delaminate from the paddle. Otherwise, solid purchase

Excellent value This knife strop is well made. The wood is flat,and the two leathers are applied ,and aligned just right. The zinc oxide stick was softer than I am used to....which is a good thing making it easier to load the strop.The polishing compound worked really good and brought my knife to a razor sharp edge.Having a strop to maintain your knives keeps them sharp,so you don't loose the steel on your blades from sharpening. There is a video availble to train the beginning knife stropper. Just scan the symbol on instruction booklet and it takes you to their YouTube v channel

Nice strop. You can see and feel the craftsmanship in this product. Nice thick ash wood paddle as well. At this price point, you can buy a couple and load up different polishing compounds on each one. I have this in my sharpening travel bag with all my other sharpening tools. This allows for portability to sharpen family members knives. I thought about purchasing the larger paddle version, but in the end decided to get this one. I prefer the X method when I strop, so this one is best for me. The included polishing compound is not bad at all. All in all this made in Europe product is a great value and works well.

Works just as we had hoped. It was a birthday gift for our son who received a beautiful damascus knife as a birthday gift from somebody else. Would purchase again if there is ever another reason to give as a gift.

great use it when I don,t want to use my belt sander

If only they would put instructions in the box with the strobe so you know what side does what, it would be great, I'm glad that I know how to sharpen and use one of these. you got to get better at putting instructions with these things so people that are just getting started using these know what side to use.
