Nesmuk Diamond Leather Strop

The steels exclusively processed by Nesmuk guarantee extreme and long-lasting sharpness. For the care and maintenance of this sharpness, use the specially developed Nesmuk Diamond Leather Strop. Three of the four leather sides are coated with different diamond pastes. The fourth, diamond-free side is used to polish the edge. Using the strop is easy and takes less than two minutes.

1. Start with the "rough“ side (20 μ diamond) and position the blade in a 15-20 degree angle at the lower end of the strop.

2. Pull the blade upwards on the leather. The fine diamond paste removes microscopic edges.

3. After the pull, lift the knife up, turn it around, and pull down the other side of the blade. Three draws per side are sufficient. Repeat this procedure on the sides labelled “fine” and “very fine” and “finish”.

You will notice a dark steel residue on the leather after a few uses. This does not impair the function of the strop, since the diamond coating stays permanently on the leather.
