Finish your knife neatly after sharpening with the Shinrai Knives Professional Double-Sided Leather Strop. By pulling the blade over the leather, you remove any remaining grinding residue and clean the edge. A simple last step after sharpening your kitchen knife.
Why a leather strop?
During sharpening, small grinding residues can remain on the blade and around the edge. With a leather strop, you clean the knife after sharpening. The soft leather does not remove steel like a whetstone, but rather helps with the final finishing.
How to use a leather strop?
1. Place the strop firmly down
Place the wooden strop on a stable and flat surface.
2. Place the knife on the leather
Lay the blade at a small angle against the leather surface.
3. Pull the knife over the leather
Gently move the knife with the spine leading over the strop. This prevents the sharp edge from cutting into the leather.
4. Alternate both sides
Repeat the movement on the other side of the blade until both sides are clean.
