LHS1 – Double-Sided Leather Hanging Strop

A well-honed blade is every craftsman’s best friend, and the LHS1 Double-Sided Leather Hanging Strop is the tool that keeps it in top shape. Made from thick, high-quality cowhide leather, this strop is designed to refine and polish your knives and tools to razor sharpness.

One side of the strop is smooth for final polishing, delivering that mirror-like finish, while the rougher side is perfect for working out minor imperfections and prepping the edge for the final touch. Unlike sharpening stones, which remove metal, stropping realigns the edge, eliminating burrs without wearing down your blade—keeping it sharper for longer.

Designed for ease of use, the LHS1 features a durable metal carabiner-style clip on one end, allowing you to secure it to a fixed point, like a hook or workbench. On the other end, a sturdy leather loop acts as a flexible handle, providing a firm grip as you glide your blade along the leather strop. Its optimal size makes it a versatile addition to your kitchen, workshop, or campsite.

If you’re maintaining wood carving tools, kitchen knives, camping or bushcraft gear, this hanging strop is an essential tool for anyone who values a finely honed edge. Pair it with a stropping compound for even better results—use the rough side with coarser grits and the smooth side for a flawless finish.
