Cowhide Leather Strop

Leather Strop is an efficient way of final polishing a cutting edge using Hapstone  knife sharpener. A leather strop enhances the cutting edge by correcting small nicks and smoothing grooves. The working surface is made of a very smooth high-quality cowhide leather mounted on a high-quality aluminum blank.

Leather strops are available in standard and narrow sizes. Narrow strops (12 mm wide) are suitable for recurved blades.

Gently slide the cutting edge over the strop, repeating 20-30 times for each side of the blade. The motion should avoid damaging the strop with the cutting edge.
