More stock made , these strops make great for both stalkers and chefs 
They are a heavy composite board which has layer of quality leather bonded firmly to the surface. These boards will not shrink or warp and the leather will stay flat when honing as opposed to compressing.
The boards also have non-slip feet. Supplied with a sachet of honing powder (enough for ages) as only a small 'pinch' is required. This should be mixed with a few drops of water to a watery thin slurry, apply this to the board with a paint brush, applying three coats ensuring they dry between each coat. You are then good to go!
The compound will also polish the edge. Please note the strop will darken with use and strips might appear in the surface initially, it is just the leather soaking compound and steel particles at different rates.
Size 33 x 6.5 x 13 cm
TIP Once sharp your knife edge will last longer between sharpening if stropped after use. Stropping will maintain the straightness of the edge at a microscopic level and remove microscopic burrs.
TIP When stropping, especially with the hanging strop, try not to 'roll' the blade off the strop, try to come off it flatter. You are stropping a knife as opposed to a straight/cut throat razor.
TIP when honing, if the false edge/ burr doesn't 'break' just increase your honing angle. No need for excessive pressure when honing.
Prices are - Flat board / compound -£33.49 inc postage.
Please note. I have increased the price of the boards slightly. They have been the same price for 5 or 6 years, but every year the post office increases their charges significantly which I have never passed on. These boards are still excellent value.

Thanks for looking.
