Casstrom Field Strop double-sided strop
Casstrom Field Strop double-sided strop for everyday carry
Small field strop for everyday carry.
Casstrom knives are delivered shaving sharp, and to help maintain that edge, we created our own range of handmade leather strops. The Field Strop is our pocket- or backpack-friendly option and is a convenient size to carry on trips.
What is a strop and why is it useful?
A strop is used to maintain a knife's sharpness. Strops are easy to use, and if you strop the knife every time it has been used, the edge stays sharp for longer, which means you do not need to sharpen the knife as often with other, coarser tools such as a diamond sharpener or stone.
You use the strop by placing the knife edge against the leather and pulling the knife in the direction of the spine (i.e. drawing the blade away from the edge). Repeat the procedure about 20 times on each side. One side has a coarser surface and the other a finer one. On the coarser side, if desired, you can apply stropping paste for a stronger polishing effect.
