204N Leather Strop (Genuine Cowhide) L 20cm x W 7.5cm Kit with 54g. Polishing Compound & Angle Guide, Knife Stropping Block for Sharpening & Honing Knives, Straight Razor, Woodcarving Chisels

Sharper chisels and plane irons

This is a really nice strop. Not the cheapest, but by no means poor value at the roughly seventeen quid I paid. The veg-tan leather is thick, flat and even, the base is solid beech with rubber feet, and it fits nicely in the recess on the lid of a Sharpal 75x200mm diamond stone storage box. Like most of the reviewers, I bought this to use with a diamond polishing compound rather than the green waxy stropping compound it came with. I'm about to buy another to use with an even finer diamond compound. The back of it is nice and flat, so you could attach another bit of leather and make it double sided, though to retain the rubber feet, which stop it sliding around, you'd either need very thin leather or thicker feet. (I did actually try out the supplied green compound - a mix of aluminium and chromium oxides, apparently, in a waxy matrix - just as a polish on a rag, and I have to say it's more than adequate - I've no reason to think it wouldn't make a perfectly fine job of honing knives.)

Great for refining an edge on your chisels or plane blades. The leather strop is stuck to a beech block with a rubberised base to stop slippage in use, and it comes with a bar of chromium oxide polishing compound. The only downside I've found is that the leather cuts easily if you're not careful. Good value for money, handy size, and great for a razor sharp hone.

Works great, would buy again

Learn how to use one properly! It's not rocket science but it's super easy to think you know what you're doing and destroy the surface. It's also really easy to round off your cutting edge and actually have the knife lose sharpness. The actual strop is a well shaped piece of wood with a flat piece of leather attached. On the underside is a pair of very sturdy non-slip feet. This means you can totally concentrate on the blade. It's going nowhere on a kitchen worktop. This is not flexing as you use it. The leather is very smooth so if you prefer a more suede feel surface it's not for you. There's nothing objectively wrong with the green wax based compound included and it will give good results. However, with a diamond based compound this comes into its own. Do not expect this to take a dull knife to sharp. This is not what it's for. Sharpen on a diamond stone first and remove as much of the burr as possible on the stone. If that made no sense go to YouTube and look up videos on the topic. If you don't know about these things you may well get poor results and blame the product. With proper use alongside a sharpening stone this strop took a kitchen knife (pictured) to being like a razor. It's also a very good size for even the longest kitchen knives. I cannot fault this product.

I have quite a few strops, but they were all either too rough, too thin, warped wooden base, poor leather, or just plain poor quality. Never be tempted to buy a strop because of its perceived low price! You get what you pay for! This is a very good size. Mine was nice leather stuck on a piece of good, flat wood. I used a good strop paste and was lovely at honing my blades to a razor’s edge very easily. Seller was punctual and the product just what I wanted. I really despise the buyers who give low star ratings because they don’t know how to use a strop. Don’t be put off by these numpties. It’s as good as you’re going to get unless you make your own. Edit: one year later this strop is now properly seasoned and I get ultra sharp blades from using this. Keep it flat when stowing away to prevent warping. A first class strop!

Great value. Good quality construction and materials. This strop is impressively flat and smooth. The base is solid beech. The leather is thick with a tight nap. It works really well as a strop. My only reservations are with the green honing compound. There are better compounds available. Finally, the leather is a bit soft when new but it should develop a patina in use. Overall, this strop is great value. Recommended!

Great strip, angle stone is a great help, good quality. Only had it a few weeks but used a lot already and very pleased with the results.

I love it, it's a easy way to maintain my knifes.

他のレビューで見たのですが メイホウ ジミーケースLLがピッタリ収納できるとのことで買ってみました。 このケースについてのレビューになってしまってすいませんが、使い勝手が向上してかなりオススメですのでよろしければご一読ください。 まずフィッティングについてですが、横方向は測ったかのようにピッタリで 縦方向は青棒を入れるとジャストで収まる感じです。 高さは板の上2センチほどの空間ができるのでティッシュ、ウエス、歯ブラシ、試し切り用に集めたスーパーのレシートなども収納できます。 振ってもカタカタ動くこともなくしっくり収まってイイ感じです。 百均みたいなペラペラのケースじゃなくて日本製でしっかりしているので末永く使えそうです。 ちなみに写真の紫色の製品ラベルは簡単に剥がれます。 Amazonや楽天で買うと送料で割高になってしまうので、近所のホームセンターのコーナンで税込305円で買いました。 カインズやナフコ その他のホームセンターでも普通に売られてる定番商品のようで、工具ボックスコーナーで売られてました。 このケースに収納することによるメリットですが、とにかく出し入れが早く楽になるので刃物の切れ味が落ちてきたなと感じたらその場でサッと使う気になれる手軽さこそが最大のメリットになるかと思います。 あと、素材がプラスチックなので湿気や水濡れに強いのも安心です。パッケージのままで使っているとどうしてもボロボロになっていきます。 家だけではなくキャンプや釣りのときにナイフと一緒に持っていって帰りぎわなどにストロッピングすると、外なのでカスが飛び散っても気にならずより手軽にメンテができます。 自宅でストロッピングする場合ですが、30センチ幅のサランラップをテーブルの上に横につなげて敷いてから、その上にシャーパルを置いて青棒を塗って刃物を研いで、出てきたカスや拭き取ったティッシュや試し斬りした紙きれをそのままラップにくるんでポイしてます。 後片付けが楽なので研ぐ作業がそれほどメンドくさくなくなります。 シャーパル本体ですが、目詰まりしてくると研ぎにくくなってきますので、たまに台所のシンクでお湯を流しながら使い古した歯ブラシなどで軽くこすってキレイにしてから半日ほど乾かすと青棒の乗りがよくなり復活します。 革の表面が少しケバ立ってる状態が革砥のいい状態だそうです。

Enfin cela coupe, après avoir essayé beaucoup d'aiguiseur avec des résultats "bof", la finition avec ce cuir change tout.On se prendrait presque pour un Japonais

Perfect

Si cumplio mis expetactivas y muy bueno lo recomiendo
