Why use a Leather Strop? Many sharpening systems stop at the diamond stone. Stropping takes the process one step further. A leather strop charged with polishing wax helps remove the final burr and refine the cutting edge. The result is a cleaner, sharper finish with very little effort. After testing numerous compounds and polishing waxes, we found these formulations consistently improved the quality and fineness of the edge. To put it simply: They work. Why We Chose Stropping The debate between waterstones and stropping has been around for years. Both methods can produce exceptionally sharp edges. However, we found stropping offered several practical advantages: Fast and convenient No water required No flattening stones required No mess Minimal maintenance Ready whenever you need it For many users, the simplicity of a leather strop and polishing wax makes it the ideal finishing step.
