Strop! - In the name of Love <3 - Honing Card Kit
Extend the life of your Kirby Blades or other carving/cutting edges with a small, business card size leather strop. Our Honing Card Kit comes complete with rawhide mounted to a wooden substrate, and about a gram (one cube) of our in-house formulated honing compound.
We’ve all seen the cartoons of barber running a shaving back & fourth across a leather strap. This strap, is called a strop. When treated with a honing compound, the strop provides a lightly abrasive surface which removes small amount of material from the blade. With proper technique, the keen edge of the blade can be restored, often multiple times before grinding is required.
Our Kirby Blade honing compound is wax based, containing diatomite, dry lubricants, and iron(III) oxides. You wouldn’t believe the mess and troubles we went through formulating this perfect blend. The tiny amount we provide with this kit will far outlast the life of the leather.
The honing card measures 2.25” x 1.5”, with the strop substrate measuring 2.25” x 1”.
ALWAYS HONE AWAY FROM THE DIRECTIONS OF YOUR HANDS/BODY. Blades with a keen edge are sharp; avoid injury by not being dull yourself.
