Blacks Blades Leather Strop

Blacks Blades Leather Strop is the must have sharpening item for finishing knives.

A Leather Strop can:
-De-burr knives, chisels etc after a course sharpening
-Finish knives after polishing stone/s (3000+grit), which will make your knives “pop” hairs. (If sharpened correctly)
