Brand: HI-CONDITION ハイコンディション
Producing Area: Tokyo/ Japan
Size: 10"L x 2"W x 1"D
Weight: 399g

Really high quality, bare leather felt strop on a firm base so it has no give.

Leather strops will be slightly better at finishing edges post sharpening/maintenance (or as a stand alone tool) than felt strops. Leather strops work on an array of knives, and are especially ideal for Japanese knives and other fine blades.

Use only an edge-trailing/draw stroke. Can be loaded with micron abrasive pastes or sprays. Clean periodically with a slightly damp rag, allow to dry before using.

From Hitohira:

HI-CONDITION is headquartered in Asakusabashi. This area of Tokyo was famous as ‘the city of textile and leather craftsmen’ but now there are fewer people carrying on that tradition. Hi-CONDITION strives to keep that tradition alive with an attention to detail and quality that honors the history of Taito.

They began as a creative hub and gallery where artists exhibited their artwork and apparel, this included HI-CONDITION's own stencil art. As the gallery progressed, the brand HI-CONDITION was born, incorporating a network of craftsman with their years of art experience into a range of premium apparel, bags kitchen wear and accessories.

Really high quality, bare hard felt strop on a firm base so it has no give.

Felt strops will be slightly more efficient at cleaning up edges post sharpening/maintaining than leather, and you could certainly finish off of them. Ideal for softer western knives, butcher knives, and other higher-volume knives.

Use only an edge-trailing/draw stroke. Can be loaded with micron abrasive pastes or sprays. Clean periodically with a slightly damp rag, allow to dry before using.
