Skerper Straight razor strop STB001

The Skerper STB001 Straight razor strop is a greatly priced leather strop for stropping knives. Sharp blades can become crazy sharp by stropping: from pocket knives to razors and kitchen knives to gouges. You can hang the belt on a nail or hook on the wall and via the handle you keep tension on the leather. The leather has a fine finish on a side for a really smooth result. The other side is slightly coarser in terms of leather and is better suited for a compound or diamond paste with a larger grain size. But how exactly does stropping work? We will explain it to you! We wrote an article and made a video explaining in great detail how to strop your knife to razor-sharpness. Read more about stropping here.
