Apex Edge Pro Balsa Wood (TWO) Strops on aluminum blank for Diamond compound NEW (#175303249127)
Product Description
Balsa Strop is an efficient way of final polishing a cutting edge using an Apex
Edge Pro sharpener etc. A balsa strop enhances the cutting edge by correcting
small nicks and smoothing grooves. The working surface is made of polished
balsa wood mounted on a high-quality aluminum blank.
Balsa strops holds a diamond stropping compound well, which makes it possible
to use it for polishing cutting edges with diamond stropping (or any) compound
applied to it.
Balsa is the softest and lightest of all commercial woods - nothing else comes
close to it. Balsa keeps its flatness better than leather and prevents the
blade becoming convex when used on abrasive compounds.
Working with balsa is like working with leather. Gently slide the cutting edge
over the strop, repeating 20-30 times for each side of the blade. The motion
should avoid damaging the balsa with the cutting edge.
