LAVODA Leather Honing Strop 3 Inch by 8 Inch with 2oz. Green White Compound

Has been used and has not gone brittle, the polish produces great results. Can take a cleaning without degrading the product.

Excelente producto logra un pulido a espejo y un filó óptimo para trabajar, afiló cuchillas y formones y mis acabados han mejorado notoriamente, muy recomendable y muy satisfecho con el producto.

Good quality thick leather, However it's too stiff upon arrival and it's almost stiff as a cardboard and has no give to it, definitely cannot be rolled up as shown in picture. You need to massage the leather by fold it back and forth to open up the grain and make it softer. Then it's a good strop.

Does what it says

When I first began the process of learning how to sharpen my own knives, I wondered, "should I get a leather strop? Do they really help?" If you're wondering about those same questions, the answers are "yes" and "yes, quite a bit." Stropping is the best way to finish the sharpening process, and will give you a sharper, more consistent edge than any other medium. If fact, I'd suggest buying at least two or three strops so that each of the types of stropping compound you're using has a dedicated, pre-loaded strop--it's not worth the trouble of trying to clean a strop so as to use it for different colors colors/grits.But that shouldn't be too much of a financial burden because strops are inexpensive, and that's why I bought this one: is was the best price for the approximate size on Amazon. And it works great. There's no reason to spend more, unless you want a larger piece of leather, or want one that comes already mounted on a board. But the size of this one is plenty big for knives, and it's just the right size to mount on a 2x4, so save yourself the money and just mount it yourself on a piece of scrap wood. As for the compounds, the sticks arent large, but it takes so little to load up a strop that I won't need to buy more for years. Overall, an excellent strop for an excellent price.
