LW160 Field Strop

Prepare the Strop
Apply a thin and even layer of stropping compound to your leather strop to enhance its sharpening efficiency.

Position the Blade
Hold your knife at a shallow angle 15-20 degrees to the strop, ensuring the edge makes full contact.

Stroke with Precision
Drag the blade backward away from the edge along the strop in a controlled motion, alternating sides to maintain symmetry.
