What is a Strop Compound? A strop compound is an extremely fine abrasive used in the final stages of sharpening to achieve a polished edge. Our selection of compounds includes various grit sizes, ranging from 15 microns (equivalent to a 1000 grit water stone) to 0.5 micron (about 60,000 grit). These compounds contain abrasive particles, such as aluminium oxide, chromium oxide, and diamonds, that are typically held in a medium like wax, paste, or spray.

Investing in a Strop Adding a strop to your regular maintenance routine can make a significant difference in the sharpness and precision of your blades. It's the extra step that takes your sharpening to the next level, resulting in better performance and reduced risk.
