Crafted from high-quality leather, this paddle strop helps maintain a smooth, sharp edge by correcting microscopic bends at the apex. These form in normal use and are one of the reasons a knife goes blunt, so correcting these as often as you can will not only keep your knife cutting well for longer, but will reduce the amount of material that needs to be removed when the knife is sharpened on stones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall size: 90x390mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather size: 75x350mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with compound (although we recommend leaving it natural for daily use).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium soft polished cowhide leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing the strop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the knife by the handle and lay it flat on the leather. Raise the spine up by approximately 20 degrees (I see a lot of people holding the knife up at too steep of an angle, this will give you more noticeable results, but also dull your edge. I prefer to match the sharpening angle quite closely, and run more passes). While applying light pressure, drag the full length of the cutting edge across the length of the strop leading with the spine. Flip to the other side and repeat 5 or so times per side. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note these are made to order and will usually take a few days to make, please email if you need a specific shipping date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KWB Knives","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53230159102285,"sku":"sku-50990693679437","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural","offer_id":53230159135053,"sku":"sku-50990693712205","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/PXL_20250207_104418896.PORTRAIT.jpg?v=1769106162","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/premium-leather-knife-and-razor-strop","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
