Sharp Pebble Premium Leather Strop for Knife Sharpening with Polishing Compound - Sharpening Strop for Knives, Straight Razor, Chisels - with eBook Guide

This Strop is high quality and well built. The compound is a great addition as well. This strop does in fact finish your blade to a mirror finish, which just screams sharp. The customer service as well is unparalleled. They reached out several times to make sure I was satisfied along with a link which included instructions on how to use and take care of the strop "which I highly recommend you read".With that I have a cautionary tale.I'm a Chef in a major city and I've spent a lot of money on my knives and tools and I needed a high-quality strop to take care of my knives and tools. So, when I found this strop for such a great price, I was extremely excited to get it. "maybe a little too excited" the second it arrived I went to work on putting mineral oil on it and rubbing on the compound. I grabbed my first knife and without using a proper "J" strop on my 8" chef knife (at NO fault to the quality of the product) the tip of my knife caught an edge and cut right into the leather (which they do warn you about in the linked instructions). I then rubbed in some more compound which covered up the cut pretty well; However, my advice is to be patient, take your time, read the link they send you and possibly watch a couple YouTube videos on how to strop your specific tool or knife. Once you think you can be comfortable with how to use the strop, then all you need to remember is take your time and be patient. Again, it’s a solid well-built product that I even use to hone my knives between uses, and it does in fact put a mirror finish on the edge of my knives.In conclusion: I'm going to be purchasing another one. Not just because It’s an excellent product and I highly endorse it. but also, because I'm OCD and want one without a cut on it. "even though the cut is barely noticeable"; Furthermore, I'm going to keep the primary strop I purchased at the restaurant for myself and my fellow Chef's to hone and polish their tools. The new one I purchase I'll keep at home for my own private use.I hope this is helpful and useful information to any future and potential buyer. I also want to thank Sharp Pebble for the amazing product and support.Note: I'll be adding pictures and a possible video review in the near future.

I mostly use this on chisels but it can be used on any non-serrated knife as well. The green abrasive is great for sharpening with this leather strop for the final touches. It stays where you put it and doesn’t wander even with a lot of pressure which you really don’t need to use. It’s soft but not soft enough that it rounds corners. I redid a whole chisel blade with it and some diamond stones and it worked great to finish them up. I mostly use it for light sharpening as I don’t let most of my chisels get in too bad of shape.

Works very well and my 25 year old Zwilling JA Henkel knives have never been sharper (the Zwilling line are made in Germany and are designed to last). These knives will last a lifetime of properly cared for. This excellent strop block is part of that care. Thanks!

As a newbie to knife sharpening, I was uncertain that investing in a strop would make any difference in my novice abilities. It is safe to say that I am glad I purchased the Sharp Pebble Leather Strop! First (and most obviously), the mirror finish that the strop gives to my knives is immaculate - the true satisfaction of sharpening a knife on a whetstone is only achieved after getting that mirror finish, which only a strop can deliver. Second, the build quality of this strop for the price is incredible. As a novice to the knife sharpening world, I was hesitant to add this into my sharpening kit, but I'm glad I did. The build quality and sturdiness surprise me for the price. Finally, given that the strop is made of leather, you have to have some technique when using it. Don't be worried, the technique is very easy to learn (they include instructions), and the technique you form when using this leather strop will help you sharpen your knives on the whetstone. Overall, a great buy and a must-have for any knife sharpening kit.

This is a good product. And it’s very well packaged and presented. It’s clearly produced by people who care about what they are doing, take pride in it and that want to give their customers a product that is well worth the money. I buy stuff from Amazon all the time. It’s almost always a box in a box with something stamped in ink on the side with no instructions, no “thanks” no acknowledgement of the customer whatsoeverThis is made by opposite people and it’s plain to see itIt’s packaged with a good supply of the product that is applied to the leather. It has soft rubber on one side so it sticks well to a counter which is far safer in my estimation than holding it in your hand while you slide a sharp edge with some pressure toward your fingers.I have one really good kitchen knife and I used this thing on it immediately after I received it. The blade became so sharp that I cut slice a piece of paper slightly folded. My good friend is a blacksmith specializing in blades and he said that’s how you tell if a knife is REALLY sharp. It wasCheers to the folks responsible for this thing. It’s a class operation and a superior productNo, I was not paid to write this. I was just really stoked to get a good thing for my money.
