Finishing Leather Sharpening Stone Ebi-jirushi IU-1100

made in Japan Genuine leather Made in Osaka. Features Towards superior sharpness Final finishing with natural leather strop The smooth surface of the leather strop allows you to cleanly remove the tiny burrs that form on the edge of the knife blade, resulting in an extremely sharp edge. It is more effective when used after a finishing stone or super-finishing stone. If your kitchen knife is not sharp enough, rubbing the blade lightly with this product may temporarily improve its sharpness. Instructions for use Place the leather strop on a flat, stable surface. As shown in the diagram below, position the knife at a 40-45° angle to the leather strop, and adjust the blade tip to the appropriate angle for both double-edged and single-edged blades. Rub only in the direction of the back of the knife (the spine), and only in one direction. (Do not rub back and forth.) Rub the entire edge of the blade in several passes. After use, wipe off any burrs, debris, or dirt from the surface of the leather strop with a soft cloth. specification Dimensions (mm): 210 x 70 x 20 (Leather thickness: 2mm) Material: Leather/Cowhide, Base/Magnolia wood Precautions for use *Rubbing back and forth will damage the leather strop.
