ONE STRIP OF GOOD QUALITY THIN KANGAROO SKIN LEATHER
NATURAL VEGETABLE TANNED
300mm (12") long x 100mm (4") wide.
Approx. 0.6 mm thick.
The quoted dimensions are not precise.
They may well be slightly less.
If you are particular about the size and thickness of the leather you will get, please make sure you send me either a question or a message.
I am here to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
Your purchase will be sent folded to fit in a DLX size envelope as a letter.
Skin leather has a much flatter surface than Kangaroo tail leather.
For a good pad strop you need thin. It has less 'squash' than thick leather.
We can supply other sizes and quantities in a single order.
Please ask via CONTACT SELLER.
In your question, please make sure to say exactly what size and how many.
The photo is not of one you will get.
The price is lower because it is regarded as a lower quality but will perform as well as any.
Just helps to save you some money.
The surface has a bit of character.
The colour and finish is natural veg tanned.
Useful for any craft project and as a strop.
If you are interested in using this item as a strop, here is how to find a video that demonstrates how to use this Kangaroo leather as a strop for your knife blades.
It also shows a simple way to set yourself up with a very effective fixed angle diamond sharpening hone.

Kangaroo hide is a 100% renewable and sustainable resource. Before harvest no chemical dips, sprays or drenches of any kind are ever used to aid production. Unlike some suppliers, we freeze our hides (rather than use fortified hide salt) at the point of harvest in order to avoid preservative chemicals. Thereafter the only treatment is the actual tanning to make the leather.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
SOME FEEDBACK COMMENTS:-:- Thanks for super speedy delivery and a beautiful product! Will buy again!!!
:- Good quality product.
:- Thanks for your help showing me how to strop and sharpen.I made two pads from the 50 x 300 Kangaroo tail to fit on the fixed angle guide.Now as I sharpen and then strop my knives on the fixed angle guide I use the back or pulling method.And wow, it is much more refined and holds the edge longer and its like I have power steering on my knife.
:- Hi. Just used the roo leather as a strop. I got an amazing result.My sharpening skills are improving but finishing the blade on that leather feels great and blade performs beautifully.Thanks for your advice about leaving off the polishing compounds. Can't see myself using them now. Thanks
