Why Strop Your Leathercraft Tools?
Sharpening creates the cutting edge, but stropping refines it.
After sharpening on a whetstone or diamond stone, a tiny burr often remains on the edge of the blade. Applying Bolpol Smurf Poo to a leather strop helps remove this burr while polishing the very apex of the edge.
The result is:
- Cleaner, more accurate cuts
- Less effort when cutting leather
- Smoother skiving
- Better edge retention
- Reduced need for frequent sharpening
- Longer tool life
For many leatherworkers, stropping little and often is the secret to keeping tools razor sharp.
A Simple Habit That Improves Every Cut
Regular stropping is one of the easiest ways to improve your leathercraft. Instead of waiting for a tool to become dull, a few strokes on a leather strop charged with Bolpol Smurf Poo Honing & Stropping Paste will keep your blades performing at their best.
Cleaner cuts, smoother skiving and less time spent sharpening mean more time focused on creating beautiful leatherwork.
Whether you’re making belts, wallets, bags, sheaths or saddlery, Bolpol Smurf Poo deserves a place on every leatherworker’s bench.
