Stropping paddles
A stropping paddle, or paddle strops as the experts say, is your ticket to a knife that is not just sharp, but razor-sharp. From kitchen knives to pocket knives and outdoor knives, a stropping paddle gives the blade that ultimate finish. This handy tool usually consists of a leather surface on a wooden or plastic base, and is available in various sizes. Small and compact for travelling, or larger for your machete or chef's knife. With brands such as Jende and Herold Solingen, you can be sure that you are getting quality.

How do I choose the best stropping paddle?
Choosing the right stropping paddle depends on how you intend to use it. A compact paddle is ideal for travelling, as it is lightweight and easy to carry. For larger knives, choose a paddle with a longer stropping surface so that you can strop in one smooth motion. Also consider flexibility: a rigid paddle strop offers stability, while a flexible version without a base is better for convex-ground knives or for extra weight savings.
Leather and compound: the finishing touch
The leather on the paddle is essential for smooth results. Some paddles have a smooth surface, ideal for use without compounds, and a rough surface that better retains a compound, paste or spray. These pastes and compounds improve the polishing effect, making your knife even sharper. Apply a small amount to the leather and start stropping! Brands such as Skerper offer paddles and matching compounds, so you have everything you need for the best results.
