Premium Black Leather Strop
Leather strops are an essential part of your Japanese knife maintenance routine. Why use a strop for Japanese knives? Because it's the safest way to maintain an extremely sharp edge between sharpening sessions. It also protects your knife; ceramic rods can chip your knife, and steel rods are too soft to sharpen your knife.
Why a Strop Block?
Why choose this strop? A 3" x 8" strop block is a good choice if you sharpen your knives on whetstones. This allows you to maintain the same angle and stroke as you do when sharpening your edges. Remember, edge trailing, or gently stropping the knife away from the apex, will remove microscopic pieces of the edge, breaking down and restoring your blade to its laser-like glory. Can I use the strop by itself? Yes! On its own, a strop will help realign and maintain your edge between sharpenings. However, we strongly recommend adding on our 2-micron strop shots. Why 2 micron? You can really get crazy with strop shots, but anything below 1 micron is really for razor honing and sharpening. 2 micron leaves and refreshes a nice bite back to your blade.
