Four-sided leather strop is used at the very end of the sharpening process to remove the remainder of the burr from the blade. This four-sided leather stop has 2 suede ("coarser") sides, and 2 smooth ("finer") sides of the leather. The idea is to leave one grainer and one smoother leather "naked", without any polishing compounds, and use the other two to apply differently granulated polishing pastes.

The principle of using a four-sided leather strop is pretty much the same as with sharpening stones. We start stropping on the coarser leather and finish on the finer, smoother leather.

For an even better result and higher polish, we highly recommend applying Koyo "Green Rouge" polishing compound to the grainer side of this leather strop.
