Cangshan's sharpening strop is a method of maintaining your blade edge. Made of leather, the knife strop is designed for the final stage of honing your kitchen knives and for keeping your knife sharp. Apply your chosen compound on one or both sides of the leather. You can leave the smooth side free of the compound for ultra-fine touch-ups. Strop after finishing sharpening on your finest stone by pulling the blade backward with low pressure. Use the same (or a little bit shallower) angle you sharpen at.
