This is where the knife strop shows its true value. By polishing the edge of the blade against this leather strap, you will be able to cleanly take off the burrs (the small ridges) and bring back its luster. To use it, spread the green stick (abrasive) on the back side of the leather and sharpen, before finishing with the front side. For those who want the finest long-lasting sharpness, this is an excellent tool for finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large u-mb-ctrl u-mb-20\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-te-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suehiro-toishi.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-te-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.suehiro-toishi.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-te-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.suehiro-toishi.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-te-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.suehiro-toishi.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-te.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"u-mb-ctrl u-mb-0 wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized u-mb-ctrl u-mb-40\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-t2-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5305\" style=\"width:833px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suehiro-toishi.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-t2-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.suehiro-toishi.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-t2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.suehiro-toishi.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-t2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.suehiro-toishi.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kaeriimg-t2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"swl-fz u-fz-l\"><span class=\"swl-inline-color has-swl-deep-01-color\">\u25b2<\/span>&nbsp;A deburred blade<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Knife Strop\uff08Long\uff09&amp; Polishing Kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<dl class=\"swell-block-dl is-style-float u-mb-ctrl u-mb-30\" style=\"--swl-dt-width:11.5em\">\n<dt class=\"swell-block-dl__dt\">Product No.<\/dt>\n\n\n\n<dd class=\"swell-block-dl__dd\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KSW-485<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n<dt class=\"swell-block-dl__dt\">Contents<\/dt>\n\n\n\n<dd class=\"swell-block-dl__dd\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">knife strop, green stick<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n<dt class=\"swell-block-dl__dt\"><strong>Knife Strop Siz<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n<dd class=\"swell-block-dl__dd\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appr. 485 x 50 x 23mm (surface for grinding approx. 330 x 50mm)<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n<dt class=\"swell-block-dl__dt\"><strong>Polishing Wax Size<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n<dd class=\"swell-block-dl__dd\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appr. 58 x 22 x 15mm (per piece)<br>Green: Pre-final Medium Finishing\u3000Blue: Super Fine Finishing<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n<dt class=\"swell-block-dl__dt\"><strong>Package Size<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n<dd class=\"swell-block-dl__dd\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appr. 485\u00d755\u00d743mm<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n<dt class=\"swell-block-dl__dt\"><strong>Q\u2019ty\/carton<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n<dd class=\"swell-block-dl__dd\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6 pieces<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n<dt class=\"swell-block-dl__dt\"><strong>Value Price<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n<dd class=\"swell-block-dl__dd\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5,250yen (excl.
