L.O.R.E LAB x LCW MADE Collaboration Double-Sided Leather Paddle Strop

Crafted with vegetable-tanned leather and a rosewood base, this paddle strop embodies a warm, artisanal feel, offering both practicality and collectible value. Each leather surface is meticulously hand-bonded and stitched by artisans, ensuring a smooth, tight fit for extended durability. It can be hung for storage, facilitating easy drying and preservation. Suitable for all knife sizes – one paddle strop handles them all. Whether it's a folding knife, a small utility knife, a kitchen knife, or a large outdoor blade, it maintains a stable edge angle for effortless final polishing and honing. Small Knives/Folding Knives: Easily control the angle for quick edge restoration. Medium Knives: Provides stable support, ideal for daily maintenance and micro-bevel touch-ups. Large Knives, Outdoor Knives: The extended paddle design allows for smooth, unrestricted stropping. The double-sided leather surfaces can be used with different polishing compounds (e.g., green compound/white compound) separately, achieving optimal polishing results for various blade needs. One paddle strop meets all your maintenance needs, from utility knives to collector's items. Stropping is a skill that requires technique and experience, and choosing the right stropping tool is crucial for achieving sharpness. This leather paddle strop will help maintain your blades' keenness, leading to higher speeds and reduced resistance. Remember: honing does not replace sharpening. It can reduce the frequency of sharpening and minimize material removal from the blade, ultimately extending the lifespan of your tools. "Coarse and Fine Dual-Sided Use" design! One side features a coarse grit area, suitable for duller blades or those that haven't been maintained for a while; the other side is a fine grit polishing area for daily upkeep and enhancing sharpness. Before use, evenly apply polishing compound to the coarse leather surface. With the blade edge facing outwards and the handle inwards, hold the blade at a slight angle of 15-30 degrees relative to the paddle strop. Pull outwards in a single direction towards the handle. Flip and repeat 5-10 times. This will quickly refine the blade's burr and enhance its sharpness.
