Description
The Double-Sided Paddle Strop with Kangaroo Leather is an essential tool to simplify the sharpening process for your knives and cutting tools. It effortlessly restores the edge to a razor-sharp condition with minimal effort.
This strop features two sides, both made of meticulously chosen Australian kangaroo leather for superior performance. One smooth side is perfect for the final polish, which can be used with high grit paste or bare without any paste. The other side is designed to accommodate low grit paste for specific sharpening needs.
Kangaroo leather is known for its strength-to-thickness ratio, with a low fat content and thin grain layer. It is lighter and stronger than most other leathers, providing a harder stropping surface. Kangaroo leather also tends to darken faster with use and is considered a premium material.
