What is leather strop paste?

This stropping paste is a bespoke formulation created exclusively for SYDNEY STROP CO. to complement their premium leather strops.

Crafted from a special blend of Aluminum Oxide with a rating of approximately 0.5 micron, equivalent to 60,000 Grit. This unique blend ensures the leather strop remains supple and well-conditioned for years to come.

Stropping paste serves as the ultimate abrasive in the sharpening sequence. Its minute abrasive particles can refine an existing edge to a mirror-like finish, yet they lack the aggressiveness to restore a dull edge to sharpness. For it to be effective, the edge being sharpened should have already been refined using the finest sharpening stones prior to applying the compound.
