Frequently Asked Questions:
Q1: What is the difference between a strop and a sharpening stone?
A sharpening stone removes metal to create a new edge, while a strop polishes and refines the edge without significant material removal, giving it a razor-sharp finish.
Q2: Do I need to use a compound with my strop?
Using a honing compound enhances the strop’s polishing power, helping remove microscopic burrs faster and achieving a smoother edge.
Q3: How often should I strop my knife or razor?
For frequent users, stropping after every few uses keeps your blade sharp and reduces the need for heavy sharpening.
Q4: Can I use the same strop for knives and razors?
Yes, but it’s recommended to dedicate separate strops for razors and knives to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination of honing compounds.
Q5: Which strop is best for beginners?
The Flexcut Knife Strop is an excellent choice for beginners due to its ease of use and included polishing compound.
