A razor strop is an ideal way to finish sharpening of your knife. When your knife is in tip top condition and sharpened well it should cut effortlessly making it a much safer tool to be using. When it is blunt you will need to exert more force, this makes the knife more dangerous to the user and much more likely to be damaged.

There are 2 different strops avaiable from Rite Edge, one with a ring for hanging on a hook etc. and one with a clip for attaching to a ring.

This is the ring variant and it is 23" (575mm) long and 2" (50mm) wide and also has a canvas back for pre-stropping

You would be amazed at the difference that stropping your knife makes after careful sharpening, you will wonder why you didn't buy one before!
