yamahog3187 Report post Posted May 24, 2016 Every time I see a video of someone stropping a swivel knife, the strop looks brand new. I realize that in the real world that doesn't happen, but I also know that the rouge and metal will build up in the leather over time. How do you clean this out of the leather? Is there a cleaner of some sort or do you just scrub it with a wet rag and get what you can out, let dry, and start over? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
