This 1/16 thick piece of leather measures 22 in length x 2-1/2 wide. One side is smooth and the other has a rough texture.Use this strop loose in the classic barber shop fashion to hone knife edges or your shaving razor.Lay the strop onto a hard flat surface (or glue it down to a wood board) to use for stropping your chisels and plane irons. A steel grommet lets you hang the strop for easy storage.Condition the leather with a few drops of oil and charge the strop with honing compound for best results.
