Rick Butz Leather Strop Honing Sharpening Woodcarving Tools

This is a well made product, it's just the price is a little steep for a thin piece of leather and a piece of wood. I do realize that it has a variety of angles on it and I am not decrying the quality of this product one bit. It is well made it's just I think a fellow could probably make do with something less expensive, but having said that it is a very nice product and not everybody is a professional woodworker. I would definitely recommend this product, just be advised the price is a little high.

"Ridiculously expensive for a shaped paddle with a piece of leather on it" was my initial thought, but holy moly, I've abused the heck out of this thing, and its holding up a lot better than my poorly made attempt at something similar. An essential tool for any serious wood carver, especially if you use hook, spoon, or short chipping knives.
