Walnut & cowhide strop

The MISAKI leather strop is designed for ongoing edge care in everyday use and for a clean finish after the whetstone. It removes the finest burrs, stabilises the cutting edge and refines the cutting feel without changing the blade geometry or removing a meaningful amount of material. Made from walnut wood and vegetable-tanned cowhide, it is the ideal accessory for high-quality kitchen knives, especially Damascus blades. Two sides, two functions The green side is already preloaded with polishing paste. It is suitable for actively refreshing sharpness and removing fine burrs. The smooth leather side is used without additional paste and provides the final stropping step and an especially fine finish. Work calmly and without pressure. For the best sharpness, we recommend an angle of around 15 degrees per side. In everyday use, a few strokes as needed are often enough. If the knife still no longer cuts cleanly despite the leather strop, the diamond sharpening rod or the whetstone is usually the right next step. Note: The green side is already ready to use. If the effect decreases after long use, the surface can be refreshed with a small amount of polishing paste if needed.
