KNIVES PLUS Strop Strop Block, Leather Sharpening Strop, 8 Long
Description
The Knives Plus Strop Block is a great way to finish up your edge. It is hand
made by Knives Plus and comes on a block of wood 8″ x 2 1/2″ so there is
plenty of room to do larger knives. Leather is glued to MDF and a high high
chrome rouge is applied to the leather. The grit of this is 0.5 – 1.0 micron.
The Knives Plus Strop comes preloaded with compound, making it virtually
maintenance free. How to Use: All edges come off of your sharpening stones
with a fuzzy uneven edge. The edge can be straightened out with a fine ceramic
or steel, if you have the right touch. The problem is, with too much pressure,
a hard ceramic or steel will roll that edge to one side or another and
possibly break it off. To get that shaving sharp edge, it helps to have a soft
polishing surface that “gives a little” as you straighten that fuzz out. The
surface of our leather strop cushions your finishing strokes to prevent
rolling your finished edge, as you might on a hard ceramic or steel. Always be
sure to pull your knife edge backward four or five strokes on one side, and
then on the other. Always make sure your knife is clean before stropping as a
dirty knife will clog up the strop surface.
