Why You Need a Strop
Knives develop microscopic edge rolling and dulling with use. The leather's fibrous surface combined with compound abrasives realigns and polishes the edge at a microscopic level, restoring sharpness without removing significant material. Regular stropping extends blade life and reduces the need for full sharpening.
Maintenance Tip: Spend 30 seconds stropping after each cutting session. Deep sharpening needed only 1-2 times per year.
