12" Lamson Leather Paddle Strop

Stop butchering your blade with that steel rod and start using a strop. You'll have better control of your angles because the piece lays flat on a surface, allowing you control the knife with two hands.

Simply draw the knife backwards (never push forward) against the leather and refine your edge.

Strops make a sharp knife even sharper, but a dull knife is best worked on a stone.

Because razor-sharp isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. This 12″ Leather Strop transforms your dull blades into precision instruments, bringing back that effortless glide through every tomato, every roast, every delicate herb. Stop settling for knives that tear instead of slice. With just a few daily strokes, you’ll rediscover what your blades were meant to do—and wonder how you ever cooked without it.

Lamson’s 12″ Paddle Style Leather Strop is ideal for honing the edges of your knives and scissors or shears and keeping them sharp.

All blades dull over time. Use this strop daily and cut back dramatically on the number of times you need to use a honing steel or send your knives out for sharpening.
