⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Polishes and refines micro-bevels to produce a keener slicing edge
- • Best for: Users who maintain already sharp knives and want a mirror finish
- • Not ideal for: Blades that require heavy sharpening, re-profiling or repair
Extra hone for use with Lansky controlled angle sharpening systems. For polishing a knife edge, leather stropping achieves the keenest finish but is only suitable for blades that are already extremely sharp.
Keen Edge Refinement - thanks to a leather stropping surface
Leather stropping works by polishing the edge and removing tiny burrs left after sharpening when used with controlled-angle systems. The action aligns the very edge at a micro level rather than removing significant material.
A noticeably sharper, smoother cutting edge results, ideal for slicing tasks and delicate work. Keeps fine blades performing like new after regular maintenance.
Consistent Angle Maintenance - with Lansky controlled-angle compatibility
Designed as an extra hone that integrates with Lansky controlled angle sharpening systems to preserve the same bevel angle used during sharpening. Using the same guiding system ensures repeatable contact and finish.
Maintains a uniform edge geometry across sessions, reducing guesswork when finishing edges. Particularly useful for users who value consistent results from one sharpening pass to the next.
Finishing-Only Use - thanks to intended stropping role
Specified for use only on blades that are already extremely sharp, meaning the leather surface is intended to refine rather than reshape an edge. Heavy dulling or chips require conventional sharpening before stropping.
Delivers superb polishing for well-maintained knives but will not correct blunt or damaged edges. Best reserved for routine maintenance and final finishing steps.
