HORL 3 Leather

Vegetable-tanned leather strop for the final finishing step after sharpening, no honing compound needed

The HORL Leather is the final finishing step after sharpening, using finely pored vegetable-tanned cowhide to remove residual grinding particles and any remaining burr from the cutting edge. It is a simple addition to the HORL process for cooks who want a cleaner edge after the grinding and honing work is complete.

HORL 3 Leather

How to Use It

No polishing paste or honing compound is required. After sharpening, draw each side of the blade across the leather with light pressure, always moving the cutting edge toward the knife spine. The leather cleans and finishes the edge without adding another abrasive sharpening stage.

Use & Care
Use the Leather after the knife has been sharpened and honed.
Place the strop on a flat, stable surface.
Hold the knife at approximately the same angle used during sharpening.
Apply light pressure and draw the blade across the leather with the spine leading.

HORL recommends approximately 5-10 passes per side as a practical starting point.
No honing or polishing compound is required.
Keep the Leather clean and dry.
Do not soak the leather or wash it in the dishwasher.
