Grandslam Leather Strop for Straight Razor Sharpening and Smooth - Professional Straight Razor Knife Cowhide Dual Strop Yellow

Met all my needs

Not the nicest strop, but totally not the worst. Much better than the one I didn't have previously. It is on the smaller side in terms of length and the leather seems more like suede. Construction seems solid, though does lack a swivel. Would totally recommend at this price point!

It works great and with a little honing paste it finishes my knives and makes them extremely sharp. It can be folded and put away in its box for easy storage as well.

Takes a little practice but once you get, it definitely puts a fine edge on your knife.

The seller has the type 2 strop listed as a dual sided strop much like the type 1, but with both sides being leather instead of one side leather and the other canvas. In my confusion as to which side was which, I contacted the seller and they told me it was only a one sided strop. Had I known that, I could have spent a couple of more $ and got the one I wanted first time out. I've already tried to use it with no success because I'm evidently ruining any progress i make on one side by trying to use the other. Unless you only want a single sided strop, avoid the type 2.Update: After a couple of messages back and forth with the seller, I think I might have some idea of what they meant and how to use it. If it works out, I'll be back to change the rating and review.

I knew as soon as I took it out of the box that this is not leather. So I looked at it under a good loupe and the edges show bubbles where the vinyl was cast. It's definitely not leather. It takes REAL LEATHER to properly strop a blade be it razor, knife or any other blade. This is not it. This is cheap, useless junk.So I'm not 100% satisfied, I'm less than 1% satisfied. Let's see if the vendor keeps their word and offers me my money back. I'm betting their word is no better than their description of this thing being "leather". I want my money back, it's not much money but the principle of getting taken for what I paid galls me.

For the money I could not have asked for more.Leather came it great, canvas is great, there is no swivel but there is a full metal clip.I could not have asked for better.

this is a good strop for the money eleven bucks you get what you pay for. lots of bad reviews but what do people expect for eleven bucks. works for me
