The Traveler Strop from JRE was made to our specs exclusively for REC!
It makes short work of putting that final "Scary Sharp" edge on all of your knives like the ever popular Strop Bat , but in a portable size!
Works on all edges, but excels at Convex grinds.
Overall size is approximately 10.5" in length & 1.5" in width.
Weight is under 5 oz!
The stropping surfaces are 9 Inches long by 1.5 inches wide.
The center is constructed of Red Oak and two leather stropping surfaces:
• First use the side Preloaded With the Black Compound for a more coarse grit.
• Next use the side Preloaded With the Green Compound for a finer polish.
Made in Schaumburg, IL
*Color of wood may vary*
Notes:
Compound is not graded like sandpaper. But a close approximation is:
Black 3000
Green 5000
2. Alcohol will clean the leather but it also pulls the oils out of the leather and will make it "harden". While It won't hurt the leather or affect the performance, You can use saddle soap or mineral oil on it to soften it back up again. (The Strop doesn't need to be soaked, just wipe some on)
You can also use olive oil or anything similar to that. (Seed oils might get a funky smell after a while. FYI..)
