AMZSHARK Leather Paddle Strop with 1 Oz Polishing Compound for Sharpening and Honing- Knives Straight Razor Woodcarving Chisels 

How does it work? The tool works by realigning the very fine edge of the blade and polishing the blades surface. After use or sharpening the blade will have a slight burr this burr is what catches when you attempt to cut. If the blades edge is aligned the blade passes through with little effort. By stropping the knife the very fine edge of the blade will begin align, while the compound polished the edge. It makes them sharp and makes sharp knives safer to use. Multipurpose Use: We want you to have One Strop To Hone Them All to get a razor sharp edge quickly. You can sharpen all kind of tools like Chef’s knife, hunting knives, pocket knife, woodworking chisel, straight razors, axe & more.It can also be used for polishing stainless steel and jewelry. How do I use it? Step 1: Apply the compound by rubbing it on the side without the Logo, the smoother of the two sides. The simplest way to describe this process is like coloring with a crayon, back and forth with light pressure. Step 2: Covering the whole leather surface with a compound can heat the leather surface to make the wax block cover more easily. Step 3: Place the blade on the leather. The cutting edge should be near the edge of the leather. Adjust the angle of the blade by raising the spine (The back of the blade where it isn’t sharp) slightly creating a wedge with an angle of around 15 – 30 degrees. Step 4: With light pressure push the blade up towards the top of the strop.
