Just a sort of informative video on the strop and demonstration. Obviously it would've been better if the knife didn't cut through the paper at all, but the point of stropping is to do it often so you keep a good edge, hopefully never even reaching the point of your knife being "dull" because once it reaches that point, you need to sharpen it.

  • hey i got the same strop on ebay

  • @ibrahimhemp His knife was sharp enough. The course side would have taken off the sharp edge he already had.

  • why dont you strop on course side before went to fine side?

  • good video dude. And holy crap, you voice is so calming, i think my blood pressure went down 50 points haha

  • I know nothing about knives but you can actually hear and see quite a significant difference. The edge of the cut looks a lot finer and straighter as well.

  • very good advice mate

  • thanks i could hear the difference

  • Can you use a strop without polish (well, I know you can, as barbers do)? Is the effect that of a finer grit than 5K?
