Leather Stropping Hone

Designed for use with Lansky Sharpening Systems, this leather hone brings back the razor-sharp precision your blades had fresh from the factory. This traditional method, known as "stropping," involves polishing the blade edge with leather, refining it to an extraordinary sharpness and a mirror finish. Leather stropping, a time-honored technique, ensures your knives achieve an exceptional polish and sharpness that is unmatched by other methods.

USING YOUR LEATHER STROPPING HONE

Enhance your blade's edge to a razor-sharp mirror finish with the Lansky Controlled Angle Systems using the Stropping Hone. This versatile tool can be used dry, but for extended durability, apply jeweler's rouge to the leather hone.

Step 1: Attach the hone to a Guide Rod. If using jeweler's rouge, apply it first to the Leather Stopping Hone before attaching it to the Guide Rod.

Step 2: Align the guide rod with your knife's pre-existing sharpening angle, then insert the rod into the clamp's guide hole. By maintaining the correct angle, you'll achieve the finest polish and sharpest edge possible.

IMPORTANT!

Unlike other hones where you push against the blade's edge, the Leather Stropping Hone requires a pulling motion away from the edge. This technique effectively polishes off any burrs or wire edges, leaving your blade with a gleaming, polished finish. It's important to avoid using any abrasive pastes, as they can prematurely wear out the leather hone. By using this method, you'll achieve a superior, long-lasting sharpness and polish for your knives.

Over 40 years ago, Arthur Lansky Levine, a medical student, invented the Controlled-Angle Sharpening System to enhance the sharpness of surgical tools. Merging his medical background with retail experience from his family's outdoor store, he founded Lansky Sharpeners in his parent’s basement in 1979. Today, Lansky Sharpeners is a leading brand, pushing to innovate even still.
