Veritas hand strop for putting a final edge on blades or touching them up between sharpenings.
Veritas hand strop for putting a final edge on blades or touching them up between sharpenings. The double-sided strop is deliberately delivered with the leather unattached, so you can attach it as you wish without settling the debate over which side is best for stropping: the smooth (skin) side or the rough (suede) side.
It is CNC-routed from 18 mm Baltic birch plywood with a contoured handle for a comfortable grip. Once mounted, the leather is recessed into the body to reduce debris pick-up when the strop is set down. The 1 3/4" × 9" leather pads can be replaced as needed.
Leather has a natural fine abrasive, so the strop can be used as is. For optimum results, charge one side with a thin layer of Veritas green honing compound, a blend of chromium and aluminium oxide that gives the best combination of cutting speed and fine finish.

There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
Which water stone you need depends on how dull your edges are and how fine a finish you want. A common setup is a coarse stone around 1000 grit to shape the edge and a fine stone around 5000–8000 grit to polish it. For chipped edges you need a coarser stone too.
Water stones wear unevenly and need flattening regularly. The guide explains grits, brands and flattening.
