A sharp edge often isn’t complete without stropping, the final step that refines and polishes a blade to its ultimate sharpness. Whether you're maintaining a straight razor, kitchen knife, woodworking tool, or hunting blade, a quality leather strop helps align the edge, remove micro-burrs, and enhance cutting performance.
Regular stropping reduces the need for frequent sharpening. Stropping works on knives, razors and tools, perfect for chefs, barbers, woodworkers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Stropping pastes and compounds provide extra polishing power by adding fine abrasives to the strop surface.
Stropping is the key to achieving a razor-sharp edge, whether you’re honing a straight razor for a smooth shave or keeping woodworking tools in peak condition. Discover expert advice on using strops for sharpening in our Sharpening Supplies Strop FAQs.
