product description:
The Knives Plus Strop Block is a great way to finish up your edge. It is hand made by Knives Plus and comes on a block of wood 8" x 2 1/2" so there is plenty of room to do larger knives. Leather is glued to MDF and a high high chrome rouge is applied to the leather. The grit of this is 0.5 - 1.0 micron. The Knives Plus Strop comes preloaded with compound, making it virtually maintenance free. How to Use: All edges come off of your sharpening stones with a fuzzy uneven edge. The edge can be straightened out with a fine ceramic or steel, if you have the right touch. The problem is, with too much pressure, a hard ceramic or steel will roll that edge to one side or another and possibly break it off. To get that shaving sharp edge, it helps to have a soft polishing surface that "gives a little" as you straighten that fuzz out. The surface of our leather strop cushions your finishing strokes to prevent rolling your finished edge, as you might on a hard ceramic or steel. Always be sure to pull your knife edge backward four or five strokes on one side, and then on the other. Always make sure your knife is clean before stropping as a dirty knife will clog up the strop surface.
