    Oak Strop

    Is an efficient way of final polishing cutting edge using an Hapstone knife sharpener.

    Function

    Final polishing

    Oak strop enhances the cutting edge by correcting small nicks and smoothing grooves. The working surface is made of polished Oak wood mounted on a high-quality aluminum blank.

    Material

    Stable wood base

    Oak is the softest and lightest of all commercial woods - nothing else comes close to it. Oak keeps its flatness better than leather and prevents the blade from becoming convex when used on abrasive compounds.

    Use

    Leather-like motion

    Working with alder is similar to working with leather. Gently slide the cutting edge over the strop, repeating 20-30 times for each side of the blade. The motion should avoid damaging the balsa with the cutting edge.

    Customer video review of Oak Strop

    Hello Community! I recently purchased an oak strop from Hapstone. I didn't expect it to be so lightweight, and the finish is excellent. I sharpened a batch of Mcusta Zanmai Forest knives using Hapstone Premium CBN abrasives and finished them with the oak strop and CBN paste from PDT. The result is outstanding. I'm posting a short video, which also includes the contact details for my sharpening studio. Good luck to everyone and have a great time. Thank you!

    Hello, knife community! I bought some oak strops from Hapstone. I hadn't used wooden strops before, so I decided to give them a try. I used to work with cowhide and kangaroo leather, but now I’ll be adapting to oak strops. Thanks for reading! Wishing you sharp knives and mirror-polished edges!

    Customer video review of Oak Strop

    Hapstone Oak Strop — I’m really glad I bought it. Oak is one of the best materials, and when used with masking tape and CBN Stropping Paste PDT, it becomes absolutely indispensable. Highly recommended.
