Awesome strop to help you get that shaving sharp edge
This strop is excellently built. The dual sided construction is great. The more course side is perfect for stropping and edge and getting that razor sharp edge. While using the smooth side helps get that mirror finish. I highly recommend you spread the compound over the more course side nice and thick. Choose your angle with the angle guide and do about 5-10 strokes on each side of your knife. Flip over to the smooth side and run your knife down the smooth side without compound about 5-10 strokes on each side. Your edge will be shaving sharp and shine like a mirror. Highly recommend keeping at least one of these around. The sharpal compound works great as well, and the angle finder is great.The only con with the angle finder tool, is it doesn’t work the best with very small bladed knoves. You have set it flat on the tool and slide it down almost like you stropping it on the tool.That’s a very minor setback though. Overall and amazing and well built strop. 10/10

Good strop for finishing knives
I have enjoyed using this little leather strop board to put the finishing touches on my knives. It comes with the leather strop, attached to a small block. The block has a couple non-slip pads attached to the bottom. It also comes with a stick of fine grit that you can rub on the leather and a angle guide. The angle guide is a little hard to use as it’s just a little square piece of plastic with no great way to secure it to the knife or board.I don’t even use it.Overall I like this little board. It gives you a good surface to hone and finish your knives after sharpening or to touch them up. I give it 5 stars for the added items, ease of use, and non slip underside. Would recommend!

Useful edge retention
I haven’t used this more than once or twice so far. It’s a good value and works as good or better than other strops out there. I like the two side option and it’s easy to use with the handle one it, if compared to one without. It’s comfortable, light and seems durable thus far.I like the angle guide but the compound is a little iffy. I worry the compound will gum up the leather.

High quality leather on both sides. Great strop for that final perfect edge
I sharpen knives and tools professionally, and I wanted a new strop for that final finishing polish. My other strop already has green honing compound on it, and so I plan to use the green compound that came with this Sharpal paddle strop on my other strop.The Sharpal strop is mounted on a wood paddle with a good handle and 8 inches of leather on each side. One side has high quality smooth leather, and the other side has a suede side, also high quality and thicker leather than I usually see on other strops. I needed several uses on the suede side to get a uniform surface feel. The smooth side is very uniform leather with no irregularities in the fine grain.The strop handle has a hole in it so that the strop can be hung in the workshop. Because I travel to sharpen, I store my strop in the sturdy cardboard box that it came in.The strop comes with an angle guide, although this has to be used with care to avoid cutting the leather. Place the angle guide at the end of the strop, with the appropriate angle facing away from the leather. Place your knife flat against the desired angle and carefully observe how the knife appears. Then remove the angle guide, set the knife at the memorized angle, and pull the knife so that it drags across the leather, with the edge trailing behind the blade. (Stropping methods are easier to watch on YouTube than explain in words.)After you have stropped a few times, you probably won’t need the angle guide except as an occasional reminder.The green compound that comes with the paddle strop appears to be of good quality. Not too hard, not too soft.One of the photos shows the smooth side of the paddle. A ruler shows the length of the leather. The angle guide also appears, along with a Puma skinner knife made in 1971.The other photo shows the suede side, and also a tall petty knife made from pipeline steel by Dao Vua, a Vietnamese forger.I am very happy with this Sharpal 205H double-sided leather strop and expect to get years of use from it.

Works with good compound.
Don’t use the generic compound that comes with it, otherwise it works fine. Needs to have better grip on the bottom, but i fixed that with a pack of rubber chair bumpers and small screws. Now it sits perfectly without sliding while I stop my blades.

High quality leather that’s it
Wood Sole isn’t flat. Dancing in the table.Weak adhesive of the leather to the wood.I just separated the leather from the wood, removed the adhesive (which is easy) and replaced it with some 3m.Planed the wood sole flat and it is perfect.Too much work for an off the shelf product.

Es excelenteherramienta para asentar tus cuchillos, es cómoda y práctica. El tamaño a mi parecer es ideal y sin duda para darle ese último toque a mis cuchillos es perfecta.

Útil asentador para navajas y cuchillos. Tiene un tamaño generoso, por lo que resulta más cómodo que modelos algo más pequeños. Los acabados de la madera son buenos. El mango es ergonómico y de calidad. Tiene cuero por ambos lados, un poco más rugoso en una de las caras para lograr diferentes acabados. En mi caso siempre uso el lado más suave.La pasta de pulir es muy sencillita. Cumple pero hay mejores alternativas.Poco más que decir, un asentador imprescindible para dejar un buen acabado después de afilar.

Gaze upon this Godlike, glorious and atom dividing spectacle! Thy chisel has born in its image and upon it’s guise bore a black hole of sheer magnificence!Alas I shall need a replacement due to the fabric of time being split around the sharpness of my chisel and swallowing my poor Bernard.

Ich schliff zum ersten Mal Messer, bin also Neuling und weiss gar nichts über so ein Abziehleder und wie es sein muss. Ich habe halt gemacht, was in der Beschreibung steht und offensichtlich alles richtig, denn ich habe selbst das unschärfste Messer wieder scharf bekommen. Demnach ist das Teil sehr gut.
