Ivan Leather Strops

Ivan Leather Strops.

Maintain Razor-Sharp Edges for Peak Leatherworking Performance.

Keep your cutting tools in top condition with Ivan Leather Strops, essential for maintaining sharp, precise edges on knives, skivers, chisels, and other leatherworking blades. Available in three versatile sizes, these high-quality strops are designed to realign the micro-edge of your blade, remove fine burrs, and polish the bevel to a mirror finish—ensuring smooth, effortless cuts every time.

Crafted with smooth vegetable-tanned leather securely mounted on a durable wooden base, each strop offers a firm yet forgiving surface for consistent stropping. Whether you're honing straight knives, round knives, or detail blades, Ivan strops provide the control and refinement required by both hobbyists and professionals.

These strops are easy to use—simply apply a stropping compound or polishing paste to the leather surface and draw your blade gently across it at a consistent angle. A few passes on each side helps restore sharpness while extending the life of your tools and reducing the need for frequent re-sharpening.
