Natural Vegetable Tanned Strop Leather

With the right rouge, this puts an edge on knives that I have never experienced. I keep my EDC and kitchen knives razor sharp at all times, but I've never experienced an edge like I've been getting since I started using leather and rouge to strop. This is a reasonably thick and heavy piece of leather that has a smooth and a rough side, depending on how you prefer to use it. I've found I get a finer polished edge using the rough side. On the smooth side my rouge tends to clump and make small bumps that keep me from getting that finest of razor finishes I love. This leather is heavy enough that I did not feel the need to glue it to a wood block. I just lay it on my table saw top and strop away.

Using for carving chisels and ordinary bench chisels as a strop... I've looked long and hard and for the money this is hands down the best value around. The quality of the leather is so nice it's a shame to use it!! The thickness is 150% thicker than what I got at Woodcraft for twice the money. I use the rough side mainly with green honing compound. I think I'm going to purchase another as this leather is worth every red cent.

I bought these to made a double sided leather strop. They are about 1/8" thick and are good quality and heavy duty. They are definately a good buy !

Good strip of leather, measurements are correct. Go with wider unless the blade less that 6" and u love to strup strap strip?

Nice product, but could they be cut square? Just slightly off at the ends... ARGH.

Very nice piece of leather. Better than any of the others I have purchased. My only complaint is it about two weeks or more to ship.

used with the polishing compound it gives my chisels and plane irons a final polishing and sharpening

Great strop, works fantastic.
