Would use diamond compound with it though. *by on Reviewed in the United States February 1, 2026* This strop is a good size for just about any knife including large kitchen knives. The leather seems to be decent though the coarse side does seem like it will wear down easier than the smooth side and not last as long.I did not like the included polishing compound so cleaned that off and instead got some 3-6 micron diamond paste which works much better and is less messy.Using this after sharpening with a KME sharpening system gets a super bright mirror finish on my knives and gets them to be sharper than I ever got them before. Regularly using this strop on them to "top them off" allows me to go longer between sharpening sessions.I hope this strop lasts a long time. It works well and seems to be a good value. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute must for sharpening *by on Reviewed in the United States April 25, 2026* Works really well and has lasted since I bought it a couple years ago. Black compound on rough side dose really well and honing and sharpening. Green on the smooth side really polishes the sage. I’m able to get my knives scary sharp. Size is suited for all my bush knives and bigger kitchen knives. Easy to use and dissent require precise angle because it’s barely taking material. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Type And Quality You Remember From 30 Or 40+ Years Ago *by on Reviewed in the United States April 24, 2026* These are made like the old ones you remember from 30, 40+ years ago. They are very good quality and reasonably priced. The added angle guide is also a major plus and nudges this particular leather knife strop over and above many of the other cheaper ones. Included is also the quality green polishing compound many of us knife guys have used for decades. I used it too in the past on mine but for this new one I think I am going to switch to and load it with diamond paste to try it out. It might even work a little better, who knows yet until you try it. The diamond pastes are kind of pricey though. They do include the common green if you are not in the market for and don't have the budget for the extra diamond paste. You are going to spend as much or double the price of this whole strop kit if you go that way, so be mindful of that. The green still works though and it's what we all used for decades in the past. ## Frequently Bought Together - SHARPAL 205H Double-sided Leather Strop (Genuine Cowhide) 13.2"x2.4" Kit with Polishing Compound & Angle Guide, Stropping Block for Knives, Tools, Chisels – Father’s Day Gift - SHARPAL 162N Double-sided Diamond Sharpening Stone Whetstone Knife Sharpener |Coarse 325 / Extra Fine 1200 Grit | Storage Case with NonSlip Base & Angle Guide (8 in. x 3 in.) – Great Father’s Day Gift - SHARPAL 194H Whetstone Knife Blade Sharpener Sharpening Stone Angle Guide, Chisel/Plane Iron Blade Honing Guide, Knife Edge Angle Finder, Knife Sharpening Trainer (Angle from 15° to 45°) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/459756075-sharpal-205h-double-sided-leather-strop-13-2-x-2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/459756075-sharpal-205h-double-sided-leather-strop-13-2-x-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
