Jemico 23" Red Russian Strop

I've been sharpening knives for about a year now with smiths course and fine diamond stones. And with those in conjuntion with this strop i can put a hair popping mirror-like edge on any knife made out of any material. I use the green chromium oxide dressing and I've sharpened hundreds of knives, some as short as 1/2 an inch and some as long as 6 inches. This strop may only be 2 inches wide and some people may complain about it. But if you know what your doing, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you take your knife down the strop, as long as you move downward more than you move the knife horizontally/sideways, you wont cut or even knick the strop and you can strop a knife as long as 6 inches. This strop was and is still one of the best investments I have ever made.

This is a great strop for putting a polished edge on a blade. Although it is designed primarily for straight razors, I actually use my strop for my collection of folding knives. The highly sharpened, polished edge I am able to put on a blade with this strop is amazing. Well worth the money.

This tem has come in handy to refurblish the edge of my straight razor and to put a finer edge on some of my knives

the leather is really good and it works perfect, but I have only one complain about it and that it's not true that the strop is wide enough for the razor ! and I only bought it because I thought it was.

This is my second strop - I never new the strop could make THAT much of a difference!The very first time I used this strop, the razor shaved better than when it was brand new.I always strop before & after each shave - you want a quality shave - get a quality strop.Danny

For the price, this strop works well. My husband is just learning how to use a straight razor and this strop gives him a nice sharp edge.
