Premium Leather Knife and Razor Strop
Premium Leather Knife and Razor Strop
Extend the life of your blades with our Premium Leather Knife and Razor Strop. Crafted from high-quality leather, this paddle strop helps maintain a smooth, sharp edge by correcting microscopic bends at the apex. These form in normal use and are one of the reasons a knife goes blunt, so correcting these as often as you can will not only keep your knife cutting well for longer, but will reduce the amount of material that needs to be removed when the knife is sharpened on stones.
Specs:
- Overall size: 90x390mm.
- Leather size: 75x350mm.
- Can be used with compound (although we recommend leaving it natural for daily use).
- Premium soft polished cowhide leather.
Using the strop
Hold the knife by the handle and lay it flat on the leather. Raise the spine up by approximately 20 degrees (I see a lot of people holding the knife up at too steep of an angle, this will give you more noticeable results, but also dull your edge. I prefer to match the sharpening angle quite closely, and run more passes). While applying light pressure, drag the full length of the cutting edge across the length of the strop leading with the spine. Flip to the other side and repeat 5 or so times per side.
Please note these are made to order and will usually take a few days to make, please email if you need a specific shipping date.

Lovely stuff as always
I love dealing with KWB. Their San mai is excellent. I have never had to wait and their customer service is the best.
Great service. Responded promptly with detailed advice which really helped with the purchasing decision. Absolutely thrilled with my knife which I use every day and feel secure that the support is there, if needed, in the future.
Some beautiful steel! I buy most of my layered steels from KWB for good reason. The core steel is well centred and the patterns are top notch. Been using stuff from KWB for a while and his stuff is getting even better with more squiggles and activity along the nickel & copper layers. Highly recommend to any knife maker!
Service and products are faultless
Great billets from a great chap
Lovely stuff
I purchased a custom knife from Korben. Korben took me through the process step by step from drawing different knife shapes and explaining the pros and cons to what designs I was looking at. This explanation included the steel types and the how the handle grains would catch the light. The knife arrived a few days ago and even the box it came in was a presentation itself. As I picked up the knife, I was quite impressed with the build quality and finish. The hamon line was remarkable and well defined. The edge almost fell through a sheet of paper by its own weight. I have many custom knives and this one is by far my new favorite.
Brilliant billets.
Brilliant customer service.
I've used dozens of them and they have all been superb.
Korben is a gent
Amazing knife maker, very friendly and knowledgeable. I had a custom knife made for me a year or so ago and its been a super reliable and beautiful knife. The experience was fantastic, very flexible and professional throughout the whole process. they also do amazing knife sharpening jigs!
The knives are so much more than anyone could ever ask for. Absolutely beautiful
I was excited to hear about KWB Knives as my husband really appreciates a good knife and I like to support local businesses. Korben was helpful and informative throughout the process of agreeing a design and production even though I was buying at entry level. This is a company very much worth supporting; you’ll have a great experience from first contact and every time you look at, let alone use, the knife for evermore. Thanks!
Sorry for the delay in review! Absolute 1 of a kind craftsman. You can see for yourself in the designs the style is outrageous but quality is just as good. Will take the time needed to make sure it’s right and won’t rush which is what you want when you’re looking at pieces like these. All the best.
