BACHER Premium Leather Strop with Polishing Compound Set, 2 Sided Knife Stropping Block for Sharpening and Honing Knives, Woodcarving Chisels Tools

Not a bad size longer would be better for long blades like my chef knives the 0as5es seem not hard so that a plus the pot sizes again could be larger but all in all nice bit of kit for those why want mirror polish on their tools me I dont care about mirror look i want it to remove micro burr so no metal gets into food or fingers if get knicked testing the edges

Quality and impressive although video not available

The product arrived before the anticipated date and was well packaged, so that was a good start. The strop is beautifully finished and the wood used is beech. The leather panels are a good size and of superb quality. Included were four small pots of polishing compound and some lanolin for dressing the leather. The actual amounts of compound are tiny, but it is enough to get you started and will then allow you to choose what compound to purchase in larger quantities. There is a small instruction leaflet suggesting what compound to apply to each leather panel and how to have the correct blade angle. This wasn't the first time I have used a strop for final sharpening of blades, so I jumped straight in. The results are soon achieved and it really does not take long to obtain a very good edge. I am pleased with this product and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. You owe it to yourself to have the sharpest knives as they actually reduce the risk of injury. They require so much less effort to cut and less pressure means a much smaller risk of a slip.

I have not used yet but the quality looks good and it is a good size. It would be useful if the supplied compounds were given a numerical value as to the grade rather than medium or fine etc. otherwise I am satisfied

Lovely bit of kit not used it yet all my knives been sharpened.but can't wait. To use . Will update when used it . It is very well made and well presented. Definitely recommend

A beautiful hand made honing tool, made in Poland using real leather, responsibly sourced wood and includes 4 types of compound plus leather conditioner. Big thumbs up from me.

I have a small hobby of sharpening knives, although I admit I'm still learning and not quite proficient at it yet. Currently, I use a whetstone with 1000 grit and 6000 grit, and after watching videos, I noticed that many sharpening enthusiasts finish the process with a strop. When I first started using the strop, I made a slight mistake and accidentally cut two lines into the leather, which was entirely my fault. The strop came with small pots of compound, but I haven't had the chance to try them out, as I've only used the strop without any compound. Nevertheless, using the strop has improved my knife sharpening skills to some extent, and I believe it will make an even bigger difference once I become more comfortable with the entire sharpening process. Overall, I would recommend this product to others who are interested in knife sharpening.

I've bought just the leather strop with compounds by Bacher previously and was very impressed. Decided I wanted a double sided one with a handle so got this. Very comfortable to hold and easy to use. The leather is smooth on 1 side and suede on the other. The wood is solid with a high quality finish. If you want to look after your kitchen knives this Bacher strop is an excellent piece of kit.

C’est le premier cuir que j’achète et je suis assez bluffé. Déjà les petites pâtes sont de bonnes qualité, j’ai pris de la verte et je l’ai mise du côté lisse. Pour le côté croûte, j’ai mis de la noire, vous êtes libres de choisir mais cela fonctionne bien comme ça pour moi. Pour l’application j’ai prélevé une petite quantité sur une des spatules fournie avec et j’en ai mis un peu (n’en mettez pas trop vous allez gaspiller de la pâte et du temps). Pour étaler tout uniformément sur le cuir, utilisez votre paume de la main et frottez de haut en bas jusqu’à avoir une bonne répartition, cela se fait facilement étant donné que la pâte sera légèrement chauffée par votre main. Pas d’inquiétude pour les mains, un bon lavage avec une petite brosse feront partir la pâte ! Premier essai avec un couteau fraîchement aiguisé avec un acier VG10,(cela fonctionnera mieux sur un couteau bien préparé et qui ne présente pas d’éclats ou des petites dents sur le tranchant) 2-3 minutes de passages légers d’abord côté vert puis côté noir (du grain le plus épais au plus fin) suffisent à vous donner un joli poli miroir et un tranchant rasoir. Essuyez bien votre tranchant après l’opération pour retirer les restes de pâte en prenant garde de ne pas vous couper. Tout dépend de la technique et de l’acier, cela prendras plus où moins de temps suivant le niveau de pratique et l’acier de votre lame. C’est super simple quand on a pris le coup. Il faut fuir le tranchant et ne pas appuyer, prenez votre temps, mieux vaut avoir un beau résultat que de saboter le cuir. Je ne peux que vous recommander cet achat si vous voulez repoussez les limites de l’aiguisage. Petite astuce: Si après une journée d’utilisation de votre couteau votre tranchant ne présente aucun défaut et coupe encore bien, passez le au cuir, vous lui éviterez la pierre et vous lui redonnerait un super tranchant facilement. C’est l’idéal pour un entretien quotidien d’un couteau qui sert tous les jours.

Gut, funktioniert wie beschrieben bei meinen Rasiermessern, mag ich, besser als Riemen

Update 12/30/25: I bought a second strop, and at the recommendation of a Youtube video I decided to try out the strop with some diamond stropping compound applied to the leather after first sanding it with 120 grit sandpaper, and wow does it make a difference! The diamond compound lasts way longer than any of the waxy compound that's included does, and it not only does it remove the burr but it polishes the edge of the knife as well. My knife's edge was literally shaving hair like a barber's razor after stropping with the compound! Seriously, I really recommend you look into buying diamond compound or diamond emulsion along with this strop. I put 1 micron on the smooth side and 4 micron on the rough side, works well for me. It's a bit pricey to buy the good brands of stropping compound. But it makes a world of a difference in stropping. It really takes this Bacher strop to the next level. Original review: As the title says, this strop has allowed me to take my knives to the next level of sharpness, to get my kitchen and pocket knives slicing cleanly and removing any burrs which can cause hang ups after sharpening. I followed the instruction manual's recommendation and i put the white (fine) compound on the rougher side and green (very fine) compound on the finer side and its been working beautifully for me. Using a light touch, not putting too much pressure just basically the weight of the blade and ensuring im hitting the apex at the right angle, my knives are taken to this next level of sharpness that I'm looking for. It can also revive the edge of a knife that I can tell is getting dull from use, and maintain that edge longer before I have to sharpen it. The handle and wood is great quality, the leather is layed out very even and flat, it comes with 4 different compounds, some polishing wax, and some little paddles to help apply and spread the compound. for the price you can't beat it.

Premium, works, knives are sharp. What more do you need? I used it on my knives, and hand axe thus far. No complaints. It’s a strop and jewellers rouge, but put together nicely for that premium feel
