- Blocks can be sent with nothing on it if you wish, if so let us know in note at checkout.
We use these strops daily to keep our blades honed and razor sharp here at our workshop. They are a great addition to any craftsman or hobbyist’s tool collection, for models and crafts, or someone who wants their knifes truly sharp. Best use as the final stages of sharpening your blades.
On the underside of the blocks you will notice they are numbered, #1 (the coarse block) and #2 (the fine block).
To use:
Start out with block #1 and place the blade flat on its side, then slowly tilt the blade up until you match the blade angle. This is very important because if you strop at an incorrect angle, you will dull the blade.
When you have the correct angle with a mild pressure and speed, draw the blade across the length of the strop several times.
Repeat this procedure with block #2
Note: If your blade is heavily damaged or chipped, it is best to use a sharpening stone first to remove the damage, and then use the strops. This will give you much better results. Use caution when sharping and be mindful of where you are directing the blade at all times.
