Good strop
It's really a 4 star item, but value for money and functionality wise, it's a 5. They cut corners by using thin strips of leather which is better, because it's pretty hard and won't round the edge of the blade. The leather is imperfect on one side, which doesn't bother me but lowers the price. If you want something pretty, don't buy this, but if you want something that works and don't want to spend too much, this one fits the bill.

Beginner polishing strop
Great for beginners learning to finish and polish their knives. However it is wrongly described. Green compounds are super fine, only suitable for polishing. This strop and compound set cannot be used for sharpening. White and/or black compounds are required to hone and refine blade edges. The leather is also very thin, do not anticipate it to last long; if you're honing as often as you should.

It's okay
It does the job. I just should've bought a bigger one, that's all. But, you know, I'm a cheapskate. If they had one the size of a postage stamp I'd have probably bought that one if it cost less.

You get what you pay for
I regret this purchase. Tried to save some $ and went for the low cost option and ended up disappointed. Strop is very small and leather is extremely thin. Seems functional but wish id gone with a higher quality option.

Works for polishing my woodburning tools
I use this to clean my woodburning tips and nibs. Works well! I’ve discovered that I prefer powdered ammonium oxide instead of these wax squares because they gum up the tips a bit, but they get the job done and don’t damage my tools

Nice strop to start out with.
Nice little strop to start with, has the compound, a rough and smooth side, everything you need as a beginner in stropping.

Average price
Just as described. Probably found cheaper at a knife shop.
