BeaverCraftLeather Strop for Knife Sharpening - Knife Strop Block with Polishing Compound Stropping Kit 14" - Knife Sharpener Polishing Kit LS6P1

Excellent value This knife strop is well made. The wood is flat,and the two leathers are applied ,and aligned just right. The zinc oxide stick was softer than I am used to....which is a good thing making it easier to load the strop.The polishing compound worked really good and brought my knife to a razor sharp edge.Having a strop to maintain your knives keeps them sharp,so you don't loose the steel on your blades from sharpening. There is a video availble to train the beginning knife stropper. Just scan the symbol on instruction booklet and it takes you to their YouTube v channel

Nice strop. You can see and feel the craftsmanship in this product. Nice thick ash wood paddle as well. At this price point, you can buy a couple and load up different polishing compounds on each one. I have this in my sharpening travel bag with all my other sharpening tools. This allows for portability to sharpen family members knives. I thought about purchasing the larger paddle version, but in the end decided to get this one. I prefer the X method when I strop, so this one is best for me. The included polishing compound is not bad at all. All in all this made in Europe product is a great value and works well.

I've only used this once and it's really hard for me to tell how well it works since I sharpen my knives with Idahone ceramic sticks before using it. Just looking at the blade edge after using the strop I can see that is does have a polished appearance. I'll keep using it and try to give an update later.

The 14" strop is a good size for kitchen knives.They use good quality leather that retains polishing compound well.I'm impressed with how much sharper my knives are.

Good quality!

Works great

If only they would put instructions in the box with the strobe so you know what side does what, it would be great, I'm glad that I know how to sharpen and use one of these. you got to get better at putting instructions with these things so people that are just getting started using these know what side to use.

Good product
