Instructions for Fine Stropping Paste:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Bear's Stropping Paste A pristine leather strop Blade or tool requiring sharpening
Step 2: Prep the Leather Strop
Ensure the leather strop is clean and devoid of any particles. If necessary, apply a small amount of paste evenly onto its surface. A little paste suffices.
Step 3: Apply the Paste
Using your finger or an implement, take a small portion of Bear's Stropping Paste. Spread or rub it gently onto the leather strop's surface, ensuring even coverage along the length where the blade will contact.
Step 4: Stropping Technique
Maintain a consistent angle as you press the blade against the leather strop's surface. With fluid and controlled movements, draw the blade across the strop, moving away from the cutting edge. Apply uniform pressure and alternate sides regularly for consistent sharpening.
Step 5: Assess and Repeat as Needed
Evaluate the blade's sharpness post-stropping. If necessary, repeat the stropping process, adjusting pressure or angle as required for optimal results. Delicacy and patience often yield superior outcomes.
Step 6: Clean and Preserve
After achieving the desired sharpness, remove any excess paste from both the blade and strop. Store Bear's Stropping Paste in a cool, dry place, shielded from direct sunlight, for future use.
Bear's Stropping Paste presents a refined approach to blade maintenance and honing, delivering a flawless edge for precise cutting and heightened performance. Handcrafted with expertise and premium materials, it's an indispensable asset for blade enthusiasts and craftsmen seeking superior sharpness and edge retention.
