It works as the final step in sharpening. You can use the it to maintain an edge by conducting a few swipes after each use of a blade.<br>What can I use it on?<br>Woodworking Chisels<br>Straight Razors<br>Utility Knives<br>Hunting Knives<br>Folding Knives<br>Fillet Knives<br>Kitchen Knives<br>Chef's Knife<br>How does it work?<br>The tool works by realigning the very fine edge of the blade and polishing the blades surface. After use or sharpening the blade will have a slight burr this burr is what catches when you attempt to cut. If the blades edge is aligned the blade passes through with little effort. By stropping the knife on the Strop the very fine edge of the blade will begin align, while the compound polished the edge. First start on the Green compound and finish on the Red compound side.<br>How do I use a Strop?<br>Step 1:<br>Apply the compound by rubbing it on. The simplest way to describe this process is like coloring with a crayon, back and forth with light pressure.<br>Step 2:<br>The entire leather surface should be covered with compound.<br>Step 3:<br>Place the blade on the Leather towards the handle. The cutting edge should be towards the handle. Adjust the angle of the blade by raising the spine (The back of the blade where it isn’t sharp) slightly creating a wedge with an angle of around 15 – 30 degrees.<br>Step 4:<br>With light pressure push the blade up towards the top of the Strop.<br>Step 5:<br>When you reach the top flip the blade over so the cutting edge is pointed towards the top of the Strop and just as before adjust the angle by raising the spine and this time pull towards the handle of the Strop.<br>Step 6:<br>With light pressure push the blade down towards the handle of the Strop.<br>The Compounds<br>Stropping compounds make it easier and faster to reach a razor sharp edge because the compounds are slightly abrasive. Most compounds are extremely fine with abrasive sizes in the microns.<br>Start with the Green and finish with the Red.<br>Green:<br>Cut and Polish made from Chrome Oxide<br>Red:<br>Polish made from Ferric Oxide<br>
