LanskySharpeners Outdoor Leather Stropping Hone available in Yellow

Really useful for bringing my knives back to being sharp

Easy to use if you already have the kit. I rubbed in a drop of honing oil a small amount of jewellers rouge and it polished the edge beautifully. Remember to only hone on the pull stroke if you push up you will cut into the leather

To go with the Lansky sharpening system,

Great addition for your lanskey sharpener this is the key to getting a mirror finish to you blades edge or even just the final step in your sharpening.

Fantastic item and actually really does work. ALWAYS STROKE AWAY FROM THE BUR I tend to reprofile my blades and stroke both ways, until it's razor then strop and polish to an ultra fine scary sharp edge. Use an angle right for your blade and it's a breeze to touch up and return to hair shaving sharp in just a minute or 2.

Of course the item works and of course it fits the Lansky system, but shame on Lansky for allowing an item to come out like this one did. There were two obvious high points of the strop that were lumpy high and caked in hard glue. Impossible to hone with it like it was. It took a lot of effort and patience to bring this so-called strop to what I would call flat and workable without any high points.

After getting a Lansky sharpener kit and using it, I found that the blades were sharp but not as sharp as I wanted. When I mentioned it to someone, they said "did you strop it ?"After a bit of research I got the Lansky leather stropper addition and tested it on a newly sharpened pen knife. After stropping I tested it on a bit of paper and the hair on the arm, and it made all the difference.

Not used yet looks like ait will be fine .Nice and sturdy
