SHARPAL 205H Double-sided Leather Strop (Genuine Cowhide) 13.2" x 2.4" Kit with 2 Oz. Polishing Compound & Angle Guide, Knife Stropping Block for Sharpening & Honing Knives tools, Woodcarving Chisels

Straight out of the box this is a good product. The instructions are slightly awkwardly translated but don't let that make you think you made a mistake. This took a knife sharpened to the limits of what a grinding stone can achieve to sharp enough to shave with. If you're not used to using a strop then I strongly suggest you do your homework or you will ruin the leather. There's plenty of video guides and the guide via the QR code is sufficient to stop you messing up. The basic instructions on the box should also be read. Both leather slabs are very well fixed to a very sturdy board. Nothing flexes or feels loose. Both surfaces do the job they are required to do and do it well. This isn't a pick up and just go at it product. You need to take time to learn how to use it or you will ruin your blades or wreck the strop surface. I cannot stress this enough. I used this alongside the Sharpal dual-grit diamond stone to take an embarrassingly dull knife back to extremely sharp within half an hour of patient and careful grinding and stropping. I did this by learning properly how to use it and taking time over about a week before really going for it with any valuable knives.

Im so surprised the quality and performance of this leather strap to remove the burr from sharpening your knives this is a good quality base on ky experience from the other brand of leather strap and also the shipping from japan to Philippines is too fast.

Its a nice one. Comfortable and sharps good. Love the both side

Excellent product, well designed and made; the tiny pyramid is the key to maintaining the all-important stropping angle. Both sides of the paddle have the leather surface perfectly aligned to the wood base so there’s never any bulge or wave in the leather, that causes a change in the angle. And for those considering only buying the leather instead of this version: the leather fixed to the paddle- don’t! This is far more effective, you need the leather to be raised above your work bench (or kitchen platform) just that 25 or 30 mm, that this paddle provides. The included green compound (Al oxide) should last a long time. Good value, I initially thought this was an expensive purchase, now I don’t.
