Works

Good little strop, have used it for years.

It's a wee bit small but for the price I can't complain works well

Yeah so I bougjt my second one.I bought the first with a diamond compund, the second one I will use it with their compound to see the difference and to carry to my school.Its just very useful, really helps to get the blades that final touch on sharpness.

As advertised. Fast shipping.

very good

Smell VERY strong of gas, thinner, or other noxious chemical such that had to immediately wash it with soap and water and about 1/2 the smell but still not able to have indoors so left outside in the sun to "off gas" and it was a little better. However, I would NOT recommend this be kept indoors because of the smell. I leave it in the garage with the other chemicals and use it there or outside. Since I have 400, 1000, and 6000 grit diamond sharpening stones already I don't know if this actually helps; after using the diamond sharpening stones the knives are very sharp and do not see / feel a difference after using this chemical strap. Giving 3 stars because the experts say it helps to use leather and this appears to be real leather and thus I guess it does what is intended.

If you are just getting into knife sharpening, and working diligently on your skills, then you are certainly going to need a quality strop. There are much better knife strops on the market, but for a mid-entry level strop this will meets or exceed your expectations. It comes with a polishing compound, but you'd be better off getting your own set of compounds or grits to apply to the strop to make it more effective. Although not necessary, but it does help. It also will help to glue it to s solid base, preferably a wooden one. Good all purpose strop and will get plenty of use.
