Description
Hand stropping removes the micro-burrs from the edge of a cutting edge that inevitably result from any grinding or honing process. Stropping is the final step usually skipped, which produces the razor like edges that denote a really sharp plane blade, chisel or knife. And the reason that it is skipped is the lack of a good stropping surface.
Leather surfaces traditionally make the very best Strops and this Kit includes a stiff-backed wood frame, two special (3 x 12") leather surfaces fixed to wooden paddles fitted with rare-earth magnets that clip in the frame. The leather surfaces are used sequentially: initial stropping with the napped (rough, gold or gold/grey colored) leather and finish stropping with the smooth leather (brown). Extra napped leathers are available if you wish to use different honing pastes. The stropping kit does not include the English bridle leather or the rouge. Both are great add on's and sold separately. Complete instructions are provided.
To get an exceptional edge for fine knives, an optional premium English Bridle Leather surface is also available for super finishing. This is a thoroughly professional kit and will provide results that you will find astonishing. Highly recommended for the demanding tool lover.

God but be careful
"Very nice product but beware. The paste doesn’t not come with the strop. Feel this is an inappropriate picture to use and the reference to the word ‘kit’. Did not expect this kind of thing from this company. Disappointing because now I have to order the paste and pay for delivery charges or go to a store that carries stropping paste."
Doesn't come with rouge!
"Heads up to buyers! Even through the stropping rouge compound is featured in every photo of the kit it is not included. The Optional Rouge line item is not for an additional jar but for any at all! I was really excited to get sharpening and now I have to wait on another order with additional shipping :( Customer service was really nice and apparently this happens all the time. Everything that was included looks great and well made. Just wanted to save the next gal the disappointment"
Outstanding Quality
"Outstanding Strope Sharpened all my outdoor knives and axes shaving sharp. Highly recommend this product"
Stropping kit
"Excellent quality and a little pricey, considering you don't get the rouge with the kit even though the video they provide of the kit includes the rouge. Poor workmanship from Garrett Wadw. They don't let you see what you get when you select an item. They need to correct that in my opinion."
Dream Strop
"I sharpen knives professionally and a good leather strop is an integral part of my process. I’ve had many over the years but this is my absolute favourite. It’s a very high quality product, well made and it does exactly what I want it to do."
Happy in the end
"I'm rewriting a review because I've changed my mind about this strop. Initially I was happy with the strops base, and with the included regular leather strip + additional nap leather I ordered. They were very nice. . . However, the couple bridle leathers (which I bought it mainly for) came pretty beat up. I'm not sure if they were damaged in storage or shipping or what but they were quite damaged, and I must've been in a bad mood because I immediately wrote out a bad review for the bridle leather additions. I talked to Garrett wade though. . . and they exchanged them for me and the bridle leathers were quite nice the second time around. Now I'm very happy and I feel a bit silly for jumping the gun. Stuff happens. . . and in the end it wasn't a bad product but just damaged, and they made it right. . . The whole kit is reaaally nice now, and the bridle leather that I really wanted is very smooth and functional. A huge upgrade from my old strop. I doubt I could be any happier with any other strop. Gotta also thank Garrett wades customer service for putting up with my knee jerk, unfriendly, response. I feel better now!"
GREAT STROP
"THIS IS THE BEST STROP I HAVE EVER SEEN. I DID MAKE MY OWN BUT NOT NOW. THIS STROP IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY."
Stropping board and english leather strop.
"The magnets hold the strop well, and there is little movement of strop on the handle."
No surprises
"As usual the products sold by GW are first rate and always as described. This tool is an addendum to my sharpening schedule. I've used strops to put the finish on the finished edges of my woodworking tools as well as my finer kitchen knives and sometimes even my pocket knife gets the treatment as well. If you've never stropped, you don't know what you're missing."
Q&A
- What EXACTLY is included? It seems optional items are pictured.
- Hello Jim, The Professional Stropping Kit includes a premium leather strop, two polishing compounds (green and white), and a wooden base for the strop. While the images may show additional tools for sharpening, those items are not included in the kit and are for demonstration purposes only. The kit provides everything you need to properly maintain and hone your blades.
