Strops and Sharpening Strops in Detail

For the perfect and ultra-sharp edge in professional craftwork and private use, the assortment provides a specialized selection of strops, push strops, and hanging strops. Proper care and application with the matching pastes are crucial for the result: the yellow HEROLD leather strap cream serves as a pure fat cream exclusively for maintaining the daily honing strop. For sharpening strops, the green HEROLD grinding paste for strap (coarse), the red HEROLD strop paste (medium), or the HEROLD grinding paste double pack red black are used after sharpening on the stone. The white HEROLD strap cream is applied exclusively to the linen side, and pastes must never be mixed on a single strop. Discover the complete HEROLD brand world in the shop.
