The difference between a sharp knife and a truly exceptional one is the strop. The Soshida Double-Sided Leather Strop is the final step in the sharpening process, the one that removes the microscopic burr left by a whetstone and brings the edge to a mirror-polished finish that cuts with almost no effort at all. Crafted from vegetable tanned cowhide on a solid North American Walnut Wood base, it is weighted, stable, and built to last decades. Use it with a small amount of honing compound and you will feel the difference immediately. Presented in a Soshida gift box.
