How To Make A Leather Strop - For Honing Your Cutting Edge

In this video I demonstrate how I made my leather strop and make six new ones using leather and hardwood ply offcuts.

They are available for sale on my Etsy store:

For sharpening I use the following items:

Honing Guide: https://geni.us/YKrrm (Amazon UK) https://geni.us/HB3B (Amazon US)

Taidea 360/600 grit Diamond Plate https://geni.us/MvOTB (Amazon UK) https://geni.us/DfFBe9v (Amazon US)

Japanese 1000/6000 grit Whetstone https://geni.us/NiEC5c (Amazon UK) https://geni.us/mwne (Amazon US)

Green polishing compound: https://geni.us/jOrQaL5 (Amazon UK) https://geni.us/4ikOgX (Amazon US)

For my method for sharpening check out this video (7 minutes in) https://geni.us/HB3B. Or the old video I mentioned in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jLcA5z99r8 but my method has changed a bit as I now use a whetstone instead of the wet and dry paper.
