A strop is a tool used for honing and polishing the edge of a blade. It is typically made of leather or other materials that are abrasive enough to sharpen and smooth the edge of a blade, but not so abrasive as to damage it. The word “strop” comes from the Old English word “stropian,” which means to sharpen.
Paddle strops are large and have a handle attached to one end. They are used by holding the handle and running the blade along the surface of the strop. The angle may vary depending on the blade and the desired level of sharpness.
Remember that stropping is not a replacement for sharpening; it’s a way to maintain and refine the edge of a blade. For the best results, use a honing stone or sharpening stone to sharpen the blade before stropping.
