BeaverCraftLeather Strop for Knife Sharpening - Knife Strop Block with Polishing Compound Stropping Kit 35cm - Knife Sharpener Polishing Kit LS6P1

Sometimes it's quite hard to review what is essentially a bit of leather glued to a plank of wood. This however feels solid and is good to hold in the hand. Aesthetically the ash base looks the biz and the beavercraft logo is just the right size of tastefull. From a size prospective it's probably slightly slimmer than some strops you may come across but it makes up for that by its length. This also means it's a bit easier to store away in some convenient cornerThe leather is high quality yet quite thin. But again that's exactly what you want from a good strop.The compound that comes with it verges on the hard side and is a tad crumbally when applying. This hardly matters when it comes to the actual sharpening as it works like any other compound. I've used this to hone the edge of almost every blade I own. Whittling knives, hand gouges, my Leatherman, pocket knives and Kitchen all feel comfortable as you work them across the surface and all end up as sharp as a Hattori Hanzō blade.

Very happy with this wonderful leather strop, but made it even better was where it was made 😀.

Good quality leather strop, would recommend.

Does the job 👍

Top quality strop paddle, nice wood and leather very fair price. Solid with a large comfortable handle. The compound is a medium grit and is soft and greasy so easy to apply. You will need another compound for the other side, you could either go for a realy fine or a coarse one to compliment the medium one supplied. It's made by a company who supply wood carving tools but is ideal for knives of all tvpes. Whether you are a knife collector or just want it to keep your kitchen knives topped up you won't find a better strop especially at the price. Very highly recommended.

looks good and prepped for diamond paste not used it yet waiting 24hours

Didn't realise what I'd been missing using stone allone to sharpen my axes and blades until I tried this product. Very happy with the results.

Poor quality thin leather coating on top of a sponge backing. Comes away from sponge as you try and polish your blade. I persevered with it but had to concede defeat in the end. The wood went well in my log burner 😕
