Paddle Style Strops
- Paddle strops in several styles depending on your needs. You can use the
leather side only for everyday needs and start with the other side/s when
sharpening action is needed depending upon how dull the blade is. Makes a good
travel strop due to their more compact size and you don't need a hook to hang
them for use.
