Large Strop with a Handle (LS1P1)

Great iteam .

Very nice. Cleans up burrs that you cant see and makes knives razor sharp. Would recommend it if you are sharpening knives.

good well made

It really makes a difference to the blade

This strop takes a bit of work to make it serviceable. It looks good and is a nice size and well made of ash wood I believe. However the leather lets it down. One side is the outside piece of leather i.e. smooth but it is very thin and doesn't take the green compound very well it just sits on top. Ive had to strop lots of old knives to condition it and heat it up on a gas heater several times for it to take compound without it just coming off. Also in my opinion the green compound is of poor quality and far too soft. The other side of the strop is supposed to be the 'rough' side i.e. inner part of the hide. On this strop it is like velvety smooth material, not rough at all and very very thin, it doesn't resembe leather at all. I have lots of strops, some are home made so I have something to gauge this against. This isn't worth the price and I wouldn't buy it again.

Great for keeping knives and chisels supersharp. Well pleased with the strop.

As described does the job well

Well made and versatile and it works.
