What is a leather strop and how to use a strop?
A strop is a special surface (usually it’s made of leather) designed to remove any burr left after knife sharpening on a stone.
Leather Strop Block or just Leather Strop?
It’s up to you, either you choose a leather strop block or even a paddle strop with a handle. It’s just the matter of convenience, nothing more. While just a leather sharpening strop can be a good option if you love traveling and living lightweight. All in all, leather strops allow you to get the super sharp edge.

What are polishing compounds? How to use?
It’s possible to strop the knives just on a leather. But more efficient results can be received with the help of stropping compound.
Stropping compound is a polishing agent that usually comes as a block. Often it’s hard and the texture reminds of a crayon. You should apply it to the leather or strop block like with a crayon.
