Juan, I gave a review on Amazon, but I wanted to leave a personal letter thanking you for your unmatched quality leather strop. I have recommended you to my fellow cooks and smokers. My knives haven’t been this sharp since I bought them 10 years ago. Your leather came in, in this beautiful box and I loved that touch. Like opening a Rolex watch, the presentation was as good as the product I’m using.
Dear Mike, Thank you very much for taking your time to leave your reviews, here and at Amazon. Thanks a lot for recommending me to your friends and colleagues, I really appreciate this detail from you. I am glad your knives are scary sharp now!!! The better way not to get cut ourselves is to use sharp knives, and of course, to know that our knives are sharp now!!!. I put all my pride on my articles, since I was a child I am unable to do things wrong. Packaging is a very important part of my craftsman-artisan work. I… Read more »

Just received the wood block w/strop, preloaded with green compound. Have a brand new Wustoff and plan to strop it as maintenance. Roughly how many stropping sessions before I should load new compound? Does the strop need any cleaning after a session? I have read that one uses denatured alcohol and a rag to clean the surface, yet I see you recommend using fine sandpaper… honestly not so sure about using sandpaper on the leather, I have no experience yet, but logic says better to use the denatured alcohol. Have seen videos suggesting the use of a vegetable oil to… Read more »
Dear Paul, Thanks for your purchase and contact. About your questions: – 1) You will see clearly when you need to reload the strop, it depends on the cleaning of the knife, also depend on the quality of the steel, the humidity on the area, etc. I cannot tell you a number of sessions exactly but do not worry because you will see it perfectly, when it is dirty, dark loaded with remaining steel or with evident wear of the compound. – 2) If you do not leave a lot of dirty on the strop after using it you will… Read more »

I am an avid knife collector and am always on the lookout for all things knife related. I saw the Upon Leather strops on Amazon and immediately ordered four of them. I purchased a set of eight Japanese Damascas steel kitchen knives that are THE sharpest blades I’ve ever seen, and I wanted some leather strops to keep the edges as hair popping sharp as they were when they were brand new. Using the incredibly sticky, double-sided tape provided in the kits, I mounted the strops to a piece of counter top granite, but I didn’t position them close enough… Read more »

I am so glad you are so happy with your purchase and your new Upon Leather Strops!!!! It is a great piece of new you have got a scary razor hair popping sharp using our leather strops. Great project to mount leather strops to a marble or granite slab, how luxury!!!!

Great product! I use both smooth side and flesh side. I use this strop for broadheads, as they need to Beas sharp as possible. We owe that to the game we hunt.
Thanks Lou for your purchase and comment. I am so glad you are so happy with your new Upon Leather strops. I see that you are getting the sharpest edges on your broadheads!!!! Congrats.
Have a nice day and receive my kindest regards.
Many regards.
