Members Bigfoot Posted November 2, 2012 Members Report Posted November 2, 2012 Do you clean your strop with saddle soap or something, or is it easier to replace it? I did occasionally scrape off the leather strop with the back of a steel ruler...Right or wrong? but I now tend to just use thick, firm cardboard with compound on it as it's easy to replace and I seemed to gradually round off the end of my swivel knives using my leather strop. The card is dead flat on the table and has no "give" like leather so makes a good edge for me. My leather strop is glued to a wooden handle but is now covered in nicks from trying to learn how to keep my round knives sharp! I use WD40 For what? Quote
