STROP leather kit 4x15 cm + white and green sharpening paste

Features:

High-Quality Leather Strop: Our strop is crafted from premium leather, specially engraved for better adhesion of the sharpening compound. This unique design ensures more effective and even sharpening. The leather, with a thickness of 2.5 mm, is vegetable-tanned.

Dual-Sided Use: The strop features two distinct sides: a slightly rough "flesh" side and a smooth engraved "crust" side. This duality offers versatility depending on the type of sharpening desired and your preferences.

Luxor Sharpening Compound: Made in France, Luxor sharpening compound is synonymous with quality and performance. Perfect for sharpening and polishing your blades, it restores a razor-sharp edge to your tools. Each kit includes:

• A 10-micron green sharpening compound for rough polishing.
• A 1-micron white sharpening compound for fine polishing.

Usage:

• Saturate the leather with linseed oil on both sides.
• Generously apply the green Luxor compound to the "flesh" side for rough sharpening and the white Luxor compound to the "crust" side for finishing.
• On the green side, stroke the blade of your cutting tool on the strop for about 1 minute. Use steady, even movements while maintaining the cutting angle. Note: Sharpening is only done on the beveled edge (not the back of the blade).
• On the white side, repeat the process. Finally, pass the back of the blade flat to remove any remaining burr.
• Wipe the blade with a clean cloth to remove any compound residue.

Usage Tip: To maintain the optimal sharpness of your tools, we recommend deburring after each use. For heavily damaged tools, start with fine sharpening using a whetstone (reference: 3.845).

Maintenance: To extend the life of your strop, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Store the sharpening compound in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.

Conclusion: The Vergez-Blanchard strop and sharpening compound kit is an essential accessory for anyone seeking perfection in sharpening their cutting tools. Give your blades the care they deserve with this high-quality kit.
