ZWILLINGKRAMER 34999-103 Hardwood Stropping Block with Leather

This strop works magic! I have tried making my own and using pre-bought ones from amazon before. NONE. Have worked as well as this at refining the edge to that crisp clean hair whittling edge. Truly a great big and a great addition to any knife hobbiest’s addiction.

During these COVID-19 days, I have been trying to improve my ability to sharpen knives. Despite purchasing the entire Kramer kit and watching far too many videos, I still have been unable to get the razor edge of a new knife. Until this.This does the job. Learn how to use it first, though, or you can ruin your strop instantly. The edge of the knife must be a following edge, not a leading edge. But done properly, knife stropping is the real deal.

The leather works great but the wood is light and cheap.

I've owned my Bob Kramer knives for several years now and knew I had to take the next step in caring for them. After picking up the Bob Kramer Sharpening Kit.... I love my knives even more. With every use you slowly go down the road of dulling them... after a while you sort of forget just how amazingly sharp they "were" ...not any more.With the Sharpening kit... the leather stropping block put the finishing touch on you Kramer knives just like when you first picked them up. The knives look beautiful. Even if you are a pro, take the time and watch the video in the kit... you learn a great deal on how to properly care for your knives.No doubt my knives will stay in great form after all the Bob Kramer knives are an incredible investment. Take the next step and invest in caring for them as well. This is an amazing tool to do so. (as well as the full sharpening kit)note: The leather stropping block in NOT included in the Kramer and Zwiling Sharpening kit.I'm glad I picked it up!!

Cheaply made product. Literally a block of wood with stick on leather and grippy feet. Spend the money and buy a real strop, this ain’t it.
