{"product_id":"tojiro-natural-leather-strop","title":"Tojiro Natural Leather Strop","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStropping is the finishing move after the stone. Drawing the blade backwards across leather removes the burr that even a fine finishing stone leaves behind and aligns what is left of the edge. The difference between a knife straight off the stone and the same knife after a dozen passes on leather is immediately obvious in the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCowhide bonded to a magnolia wood base with rubber stoppers underneath, so it stays put on the bench and you can work with both hands on the knife. Natural leather with no compound applied, so use it bare or charge it with a polishing compound depending on how fine you want to go. A few passes every few uses keeps a keen edge keen and pushes out the interval before you need the stones again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves burrs a finishing whetstone cannot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCowhide on a magnolia wood base with rubber stoppers for a stable bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural untreated leather so it can be used bare or charged with compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to daily maintenance between full sharpenings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TOJIRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55084205015339,"sku":"TF-461=OP","price":64.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/6087\/0955\/files\/TF-461.jpg?v=1787835210","url":"https:\/\/www.essentialutensil.au\/products\/tojiro-natural-leather-strop","provider":"The Essential Utensil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
