Boone’s Lick Road Leather Strop (STROP ONLY, NO Strop Compound)
Boone’s Lick Road Leather Strop (STROP ONLY, NO Strop Compound)
Handmade by Boone’s Lick Leather in Missouri, this is an heirloom quality strop. These are made from rough out (suede) and full grain bridle leather with brass tubular rivets and a versatile HK style snap hook for mounting.
Adding a strop as the final step in your knife sharpening routine has many benefits. Stropping adds a slight/final degree of sharpness. When a sharp knife starts to lose its “just sharpened” edge, a few swipes on the strop can bring it back to that previous level. It will not rejuvenate or sharpen a dull knife, but it will keep a sharp knife sharp!
Strop Honing Compound (INCLUDED w/ purchase)
This fine chromium oxide and aluminum oxide abrasive is used when you want a polished, honed edge on your tools, and it can be used on leather, wood or synthetic strops. The waxy consistency makes it easy to apply the compound. Simply rub the bar of compound on your strop. Think of the compound as a big crayon and apply it evenly to your surface. There is no need to apply too aggressively, you don't need much to be effective. After you've applied some compound, your strop will now polish your blade edges more quickly and will help you achieve a mirror polish.
Strop Length: 27-inches long
