Strops?
on: April 01, 2010, 12:13:58 AM
I want to buy a strop, when looking for one what should I look for in it?

I have seen both backed ones on pieces of oak and what looks like just a strip of leather with a handle on the end.  what is better for smaller knives on multitools and SAKs?

I have a "portable" one that rolls up from JRE Industries which is nice and I think it was fairly cheap..like $15 or something but also well made.

Thanks, I ended up ordering one of these.

Now what compound should I use, I have seen iron oxide (rouge), diamond paste, carborundum, even toothpaste recommended.  :think:  Not sure what one is best though  :think: .
