TAIL LEATHER ON ONE SIDE SKIN LEATHER ON THE OTHER SIDE. With timber handle and hanging eye. The two different surfaces are intimately glued together back to back with a special flexible glue that we have found to be durable and best for this application. Here you get the best properties of both leather types in one single strop. The SKIN side is finer grain and will give good results with fine blades such as razors It also gives a good final sharpness to knife edges. The TAIL side is suited for knives and tools. It has been proven by tests to give a sharper edge on knives. There is no reason you can't use either side for either job. HIGH GRADE KANGAROO LEATHER. BOTH SIDES ARE VEGETABLE TANNED. Stropping surface strap is approx. 760 mm long x 90 mm wide.The quoted dimensions are not precise. They may well be slightly less.

I am here to make sure you are happy with your purchase.NOTE : The $24.00 added at checkout for international buyers is a fee to cover statutory export documentation costs. Postage is still free. The export customs documentation is not required for domestic buyers within Australia. With dressed and varnished timber end fittings. Comes complete with a strip of Kangaroo tail lace in the hanging eye end of the strop.I am willing to include any of my other products in your single order consignment. Please ask for a postage price before buying if you want multiple items. It will be cheaper......................................PLEASE BE AWARE : Kangaroo leather strops are going to be in short supply for a while. Due mainly to extreme weather event impacts (drought, fire and flood) on regional parts of Australia. Many, many of our off-road rural country areas have become inaccessible ! Rural roads are flood damaged, farm tracks are impassable and paddocks are boggy, and will be for months.Both the skin side and the TAIL side are natural veg tanned with no dye. There are the usual natural wilderness marks, as is normal for most leather sourced from the wild. They make no difference to the stropping effectiveness at all. The insignificant discolorations and spots on the surface are just stains due to NATURAL finish. There is no false embossing to hide any blemishes or degrade the stropping effectiveness. ............................................................................... NOTE:- Ebay now ban the display of links on new listing descriptions, meaning I can't link directly to my videos.So please read the following.There is a very interesting educational Yout~be article on how to use Kangaroo leather for a strop. As well as a few other good ideas for knife sharpening. To find it, first open a new browser window, search for Yxxxxbe (spelt right, not like this). Then copy and insert the following below sentence in their search bar. Then click on the search . In the results it is the one by Newforce Pty Ltd .................................................................................Stropping on Kangaroo tail leather after sharpening with diamond hone on fixed angle guide ................................................................................. Kangaroo leather is a 100% renewable and sustainable resource. Before harvest no chemical dips, sprays or drenches of any kind are ever used to aid production. Unlike some suppliers, we freeze our hides (rather than use fortified hide salt) at the point of harvest in order to avoid preservative chemicals. Thereafter the only treatment is the actual tanning to make the leather. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
